For the manufacture of low resistance Si-SiC composite, the properties of reaction sintering in the green body of various mixed ${\alpha}$-SiC powder size with the various carbon contents from 0wt% to 20wt% were investigated. The samples preparation was green body by CIP method under this condition, molten silicon infiltration process was conducted to reaction bonded silicon carbide. the results of sintered density, 3-point bending strength and resistance of analysis showed that varied carbon and silicon melt reacted to convert to fine ${\beta}$-SiC particle and the structure was changed to dense material. The amount of fine ${\beta}$-SiC particle was gradually increased as carbon content increase. According to mixed composite, it's mechanical and specific resistivity properties was strongly influenced by carbon content within 10wt% more then carbon content 10wt% was strongly influenced by phase transition.

Valve lifter namely tappet is supported by lifter hole which is located upper side of camshaft in cylinder block transforms rotatic mvement of camshaft into linear movement and helps to open and shut the en-gine valve as an engine parts. The face of valve lifter which is continuously contacting with camshaft brings about abnormal wears such as unfair wear and early wear because it is severely loaded in the valve train system. These wears act as a defect like over-clearance and cause imperfect combustion of fuel during the valve lifting in the combustion chamber. Consequently this imperfect combustion makes the engine out-put decrease and has cause on air pollution. To prevent these wears therefore The valve lifter cast in me-tal developed into SiC ceramics valve lifter which has an excellence in wear and impact resistance As a results the optimum process conditions like injection condition mixture ratio and debonding process could be established. After sintering fine-sinered dual microstructure in which prior ${\alpha}$-SiC matches well with new SiC(${\beta}$-SiC) produced by reaction among the ${\alpha}$-SiC carbon and silicon was obtained. Based on the study it is verified that mechanical properties of SiC valve lifter are excellent in Vickers hardness 1100-1200 bending strength (300-350 Pa) fracture toughness(1.5-1.7 Mpa$.$m1/2) Through engine dynamo test-ing SiC valve lifter and metal valve lifter are examined and compared into abnormal phenomena such as early fracture unfair and early wear. It is hoped that this research will serve as an important springboard for the future study of heavy duty diesel engine parts developed by ceramics which has a good wear resis-tance relaibility and lightability.

In this study, the $Sr_{1-x}Ba_{x}Al_{2}O_{4}:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor were prepared by the solid-state reaction method and its photoluminescence properties were investigated. Starting powders of $SrCO_3,\;BaCO_3,\;and\;Al_{2}O_3$ were mixed with $Eu_{2}O_3$ as activator, $Dy_{2}O_3$ as co-activator and $B_{2}O_3$ as flux. Then, the mixed powders were heated at the temperature of $1100{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$ for 3 h under the reducing ambient atmosphere of $95%Ar+5%H_2$. The effect of Ba addition from 0.0 to 1.0 mol on photoluminescence was investigated. As the amount of Ba increased, the intensity of emission increased and the optimum long phosphorescence occurred at the amount of 0.1 mol Ba. The optimum sintering condition for long phosphorescent phosphor of $Sr_{1-x}Ba_{x}Al_{2}O_{4}:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$($x=0{\sim}1.0mol$) was found at $1400^{\circ}C$. The excitation spectra showed a broad band of $250{\sim}450nm$ with maximum peak at 360 nm. The maximum peak intensity of emission spectra occurred at the range of $480{\sim}520nm$, depending on Ba content.

The microwave dielectric properties of 0.6TiTe$_3$O$_{8}$-0.4MgTiO$_3$ ceramics with H$_3$BO$_3$-SnO were investigated to improve the sintering condition for the LTCC. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns, 0.6TiTe$_3$O$_{8}$-0.4MgTiO$_3$ ceramics with H$_3$BO$_3$-SnO had the columbite structure of TiTe$_3$O$_{8}$ phase and the ilmenite structure of MgTiO$_3$ phase and there were no second phase. Increasing the addition of H$_3$BO$_3$-SnO, the density and dielectric constant of the 0.6TiTe$_3$O$_{8}$-0.4MgTiO$_3$ ceramics were increased but the quality factor was decreased. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was shifted to the negative(-) direction with addition of H$_3$BO$_3$-SnO.EX>-SnO.

The microwave dielectric properties and a sintering behavior of MgTiO$_3$-CaTiO$_3$ ceramics doped with Li were investigated. The main composition was fixed as 0.94MMgTiO$_3$-0.06CaTiO$_3$ and Li$_2$CO$_3$was added excessively in the range of 0~10 mol% (with reference to Li atoms) and the specimens were sintered at 1200~140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. When the amount of Li was small the quality factor and dielectric constant were reduced, while those tow properties increased if the Li amount was above 1 mol%. But if Li was overly added those dielectric properties decreased again. Li, if added in the composition range of 1.0~3.0 mol%, can increase the quality factor of MgTiO$_3$-CaTiO$_3$ ceramics. The optimum amount of Li was 1.5mol% and sinterign condition was 1275$^{\circ}C$/4hr, at which we cudl obtain following results ; dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$) of f20.0, quality factor(Qxf$_{0}$) of 78,000 GHz and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$$_{f}$) of -1.6 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.>.>.>.

Multiferroic materials have been widely studied in recent years, because of their abundant physics and potential applications in the sensors, data storage, and spintronics. $BiFeO_3$ is one of the well-known single-phase multiferroic materials with $ABO_3$ structure and G-type antiferromagnetic behavior below the Neel temperature $T_N$ ~ 643 K, but the ferroelectric behavior below the Curie temperature $T_c$~1,103 K. In this study, the $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ (x=0 and 0.05) bulk ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering with high-purity $Bi_2O_32$, $Fe_3O_4$ and NiO powders. The powders of stoichiometric proportions were mixed, as in the previous investigations, and calcined at 450$^{\circ}C$ for $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ for 24 h. The obtained powders were grinded, and pressed into 5-mm-thick disks of 1/2-inch diameter. The disks were directly put into the oven, which has been heated up to 800$^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 20 min. The sintered disks were taken out from the oven and cooled to room temperature within several min. The phase of samples was checked at room temperature by powder x-ray diffraction using a Rigaku Miniflex diffractometer with Cu K${\alpha}$ radiation. The Raman measurements were carried out by employing a hand-made Raman spectrometer with 514.5-nm-excitation $Ar^+$ laser source under air ambient condition on a focused area of 1-${\mu}m$ diameter. The field-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a superconducting quantum-interference-device magnetometer.

This research presents a preparation method of dental components by metal injection molding process (MIM process) using titanium scrap. About $20{\mu}m$ sized spherical titanium powders for MIM process were successfully prepared by a novel dehydrogenation and spheroidization method using in-situ radio frequency thermal plasma treatment. The effects of MIM process parameters on the mechanical and biological properties of dental components were investigated and the optimum condition was obtained. After sintering at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in vacuum, the hardness and the tensile strength of MIMed titanium components were 289 Hv and 584 MPa, respectively. Prepared titanium dental components were not cytotoxic and they showed a good cell proliferation property.

In this study, heavy rare earth garnet $Tb_2Bi_1Ga_1Fe_4O_{12}$ powders were fabricated by a sol-gel and vacuum annealing process. The crystal structure was found to be single-phase garnet with a space group of Ia3d. The lattice constant $a_0$ was determined to be 12.465 ${\AA}$. From the analysis of the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) hysteresis loop at room temperature, the saturation magnetization and coercivity of the sample are 7.64 emu/g and 229 Oe, respectively. The N$\acute{e}$el temperature($T_N$) was determined to be 525 K. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum of $Tb_2Bi_1Ga_1Fe_4O_{12}$ at room temperature consists of 2 sets of 6 Lorentzians, which is the pattern of single-phase garnet. From the results of the M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum at room temperature, the absorption area ratios of Fe ions on 24d and 16a sites are 74.7% and 25.3%(approximately 3:1), respectively. These results show that all of the non-magnetic Ga atoms occupy the 16a site by a vacuum annealing process. Absorption area ratios of Fe ions are dependent not only on a sintering condition but also on the temperature of the sample. It can then be interpreted that the Ga ion distribution is dependent on the temperature of the sample. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer measurement was carried out in order to investigate the atomic migration in $Tb_2Bi_1Ga_1Fe_4O_{12}$.
