This paper describes the factors which control the impedance-relative humidity characteristics of the TiO2-V2O5 humidity sensor. To obtain the quantitative relationships between impedance and many manufacturing parameters such as V2O5mol%, the sintering time and temperature, various sets of samples are preared and tested. With changing relative hymidity from 20% to 80%, it is measrued that the corresponding capacitance and impedance from the semicircles which complex impedance plots make. As a result we found that the impedance-relative humidity characteristics are mainly controlled by the doping amount of V2O5 total pore volume and bulk resistence of the elements. We can assume the equivalent circuits of each samples and finally control the sintering time to get a linear humidity impedance response curve which plays an important role in device making. 4mol% V2O5-TiO2 specimen sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min. show liear log(Z) vs. RH characteristics and 10mol% V2O5-TiO2 specimen sintered at the same temp. for 20min. show linear (Z) vs. RH.

Rapid Prototyping(RP) models are no longer used only for design verification. Currently, parts built utilizing layer manufacturing technology can be employed as functional prototypes and as patterns or tools for different manufacturing processes such as vacuum casting, investment casting, injection molding, precise casting and sand casting. This trend of Rapid Prototyping application meets the requirement of concurrent engineering and its range covers a more spreaded area. The aim of this paper is saving the manufacturing lead time and cost of plastic parts having hollow space shapes used by prototype-car. Using rapid prototype patterns, made by the Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) technique, a new approach of manufacturing resin-based blow mold is discussed. It has a great potential fur making prototype-car parts with the batch size of under 200 parts, in case of rapid modification due to a subsequent design changes in developing stage. So, the process proposed in this research shows reduction of process time and manufacturing cost when compared with the conventional process such as a Zinc Alloy fur Stamping(ZAS) mold.

The present investigation deals with the production of the innovative lightweight fly ash angular aggregates (FAA) first time in India using local class 'F' fly ash, its characterization, and exploring the potential for its utilization as alternative coarse aggregates in structural concrete applications. Two types of aggregates are manufactured using two different kinds of binders. The manufacturing process involves mixing fly ash, binder, and water, followed by the briquetting process, sintering and crushing them into suitable size aggregates. Tests are conducted on fly ash angular aggregates to measure their physical properties such as crushing value, impact value, specific gravity, water absorption, bulk density, and percentage of voids. Study shows that the physical parameters are significantly enhanced as compared to commercially available fly ash pellets (FAP). The developed FAA are used in concrete vis-à-vis conventional granite aggregates and FAP to determine their compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths. Although being lightweight, the strength parameters for concrete containing FAA are well compared with conventional concrete. This might be due to the high pozzolanic reaction between fly ash angular aggregates and cement paste. Also, RCC beams are cast and the load-deflection behaviour and ultimate load carrying capacity signify that FAA can be suitably used for RCC construction. Hence, the utilization of fly ash as angular aggregates can reduce the dead load of the structure and at the same time serves as a solution for fly ash disposal and mineral depletion problem.

Alumina- and yttria-coated SiC powder was prepared by the surface-induced precipitation method, and sintered properties of silicon carbide prepared from this powder were investigated. After a well dispersion of SiC powders in the aqueous solution of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $Y_2(SO_4)_3$, the mixed precursors of aluminum hydroxide, aluminum carbonate, yttrium hydroxide, and yttrium carbonate were precipitated on the surfaces of SiC particles through the hydrolysis reaction of urea. SiC specimens with alumina and yttria exhibit, 97.8% of theoretical density after the sintering at $1900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. During annealing at $2000^{\circ}C$, $\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ phase transformation of SiC had taken place and resulted with a rodlike microstructure. Toughness of sintered SiC was enhanced by crack deflection around the rodlike grains. In case of annealing less than that of 3 hr, the fracture toughness of SiC was slightly improved with increasing the amount of sintering aid. However, annealed specimens for a long time showed constant fracture toughness even though the amount of sintering aid increased. It is resulted that the main factor for toughening in annealed SiC for a long time is the pullout effect of rodlike grains during the propagation of cracks, and the amount of sintering aids is less effective on the fracture toughness of SiC.

The silver thick film has been used in many industries such as display, chip, solar cell, automobile, and decoration with conventional heating. The silver thick film is fired with optimal time and temperature. However, decreasing the fabrication time is required due to high production power. Furthermore, there is a problem that silver in electrode is diffused throughout any substrates. For inhibiting the Ag diffusion and long fabrication time we considered a microwave heating. We investigated firing of silver thick film with conventional and microwave heating. The temperature of substrate was measured by thermal paper and the temperature of substrate was under $100\;^{\circ}C$ The shrinkage of electrode was measured with optical microscopy and optical profilometry. The shrinkage of electrode heat treated with microwave for 5min was similar to the that fired by the conventional heating for several hours. After firing by two types of heating, the diffusion of silver was determined using a optical microscope. The microstructure of sintered silver thick film was observed by SEM. Based on our results, the microwave heating should be a candidate heating source for the fabrication electronic devices in terms of saving the tact time and preventing the contamination of substrate.

The effect of ${Y_2}{O_3}$ as a sintering additive on thermal conductivity and microstructure of pressureless sintered AIN ceramics was investigated at sintering temperature range from 1,700 to $1,900^{\circ}C$. ${Y_2}{O_3}$ added AIN specimens showed higher densification rate than pure AIN because of the formation of the yttrium aluminates secondary phase by reaction of ${Y_2}{O_3}$ and ${Al_2}{O_3}$ of AIN surface. The thermal conductivity of AIN specimens was promoted by the addition of ${Y_2}{O_3}$ in spite of the formation of secondary phase in AIN gram boundaries and grain boundary triple junction, because ${Y_2}{O_3}$ addition could reduced the oxygen contents in AIN lattice which is primary factor of thermal conductivity. The them1al conductivity of AIN specimens was promoted by increasing sintering time because the increases of average grain size and the elimination of secondary phases from the grain boundary due to the evaporation. Particularly. the thermal conductivity of AIN specimen sintered at $1,900^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours improved over 20 %. $141\;Wm^{-1}K^{-1}$, compared with the specimen sintered at $1,900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour.

In this study PZT powders were prepared with shapes of cubic by hydrothermal synthesis with various starting materials, and the sintering characteristics of the powders were investigated. The particle shapes were cubic regardless of starting materials, but the mean size of particles formed using $Pb(NO_3)_2$, $Ti(OC_4H_9)_4$ and $Zr(OC_4H_9)_4$ was relatively smaller than that of particles prepared from other starting materials. Agitation of the feedstock during hydrothermal reaction results in decreasing the required reaction temperature for the formation of nuclei, and in increasing the size of product particles. XRD results showed that the major phase of PZT crystal powders was a tetragonal phase at the Zr to Ti ratio of 40 to 60, or a rhombohedral phase at its ratio of 60 to 40. The density of a sintered body made from the hydrothermal powders in PbO surrounding varied with sintering temperatures and with periods of sintering time. The experimental results also showed that the optimum sintering condition was at $1150^{\circ}C$ for a 2hr sintering, and that the density of a sintered body was $7.6g/cm^3$.
