To obtain a single phase of Ba2Ti9O20 at lower temperature than previious other researches. We investigated the effect of Zr substitution for predetermined portions of Ti in Ba2Ti9O20. In this study, the four compounds(x=0, 0.028, 0.048, 0.068) of Ba2(Ti1-xZrx)9O20 were prepared by coprecipitation reaction of BaCl2, TiCl4 and ZrOCl2 with (NH4)2CO3 and NH4OH as the coprecipitating agents and pH regulators, in queous solution. Owing to 4.8 mol% addition, the single phase of Ba2Ti9O20 showing high Q was obtained at 115$0^{\circ}C$ which is lower by 25$0^{\circ}C$ than the temperature in case of mechanical mixtures of BaCO3 and TiO2.

The mechanism for activated sintering of UO$_2$by an addition of 0.05 w/o TiO$_2$was investigated using a high temperature X-ray diffractometer. The diffraction pattern of UO$_2$pellets was studied in a temperature range from room temperature to 120$0^{\circ}C$ in hydrogen atmosphere. At 120$0^{\circ}C$, the expansion of UO$_2$lattice were 1.448% and 1.354% greater when it was compared with those at room temperature for pellets with and without the 0.05 w/o TiO$_2$addition, respectively-The effect of the TiO$_2$addition is to increase the lattice constant of UO$_2$by 0.094% at 120$0^{\circ}C$. The lattice constant at 120$0^{\circ}C$without the TiO$_2$addition is equal to that at 108$0^{\circ}C$ with the 0.05 w/o TiO$_2$addition. This temperature difference could be well compared with the suppression of sintering temperature by TiO$_2$hat had been observed Previously. It is believed that the increase in lattice expansion due to the TiO$_2$addition would give rise to the activated sintering of UO$_2$by the lattice-expansion-induced-enhancement of self diffusion.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of Co, Co-Ti addition on the sintering characteristic of $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ material synthesized by the direct nitriding method for a application as a cermet material. The observed shrinkage rates of $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ pellets increase with the additive (Co, Co-Ti) content, temperature and time, and also the pellets with the same additive content exhibit the shrinkage behavior that depends on the Ti/Al ratio. However, although the shrinkage rates in this study is the mast higher (36%), the density of the sintered $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ pellet is below 80% density in theory because of the partial segregation and the dense band defect of AlCo compound. Consequentely, it is considered that Co was not effective as a binder material because the wettability of liquid Co metal on $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ materials is poor, In $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ with Ti-Co additive, the stoichiometric TiN is transformed by the under-stoichiometric TiNx(x<1.0) during sintering, leading to the good properties such as hardnees and hot oxidation.

The effects of $TiO_2$ addition on the electrical insulation of AlN ceramics with 1 wt% $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering aid have been investigated. Some of $TiO_2$ has reacted with AlN powders and transformed to fine TiN particles during sintering, which was uniformly dispersed along grain boundaries of AlN. At a high electrical field (500 V/mm), the resistivity of AlN ceramics with $TiO_2$ addition of 0.2 wt% increased about 1000 times from $3{\times}10^{10}{\Omega}cm$ to $3.1{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}cm$. Based on the impedance spectroscopy measurement, it was found that $TiO_2$ addition increased dramatically electrical resistivity of AlN grains much more than that of grain boundaries. Thus, $TiO_2$ was believed to dissolve inside AlN grains to suppress ionic conduction of Al vacancies. This suppressed ionic conduction by Ti incorporation into AlN grains seems to contribute to more electrically insulating AlN ceramics.

The $(1-x)Mg_4Ta_2O_9-xwt%TiO_2\;(x=5\sim20)$ microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction method and sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the $Mg_4Ta_2O_9-xwt%TiO_2$ ceramics had main phase of $Mg_4Ta_2O_9$ and $MgTi_2O_5$ peaks were added by increasing of $TiO_2$ addition. Microwave dielectric properties of the $Mg_4Ta_2O_9-xwt%TiO_2$ ceramics were influenced by $MgTi_2O_5$ phase and properties of $TiO_2$. There was a little decrement of the quality factor from 116,800GHz of pure $Mg_4Ta_2O_9$ to 100,100GHz of 15wt% $TiO_2$ added one. But there was excellent improvement in temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCRF) by addition of 15wt% $TiO_2$. The dielectric constant quality factor and TCRF of the $Mg_4Ta_2O_9-xwt%TiO_2$ ceramics sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ were $13.08\sim16.41,\;45,000\sim165,410GHz,\;-24.82\sim+3.88ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively, depending on the value of x. Simulated dielectric resonator (DR) with $Mg_4Ta_2O_9-15wt%TiO_2$ ceramics had the operating frequency of 11.97GHz and $S_{2,1}$ of -35.034dB.

The effect of Zr content on the thermal stability of mechanically alloyed Al-8wt.% (Ti+Zr) alloys was investigated. As the Zr to Ti addition ratio increased the decrease of hardness due to the long time exposure at high temperature reduced so that the thermal stability of the alloy was improved. From the TEM work it was found that the coarsening of precipitates was responsible for the decrease of hardness and the coarsening of precipitates could be suppressed by the addition of Zr, XRD, SAD and EDS analyses confirmed that these precipitates were consisted of DO$\sub$22/, and DO$\sub$23/ type Al$_3$(Ti+Zr) ternary in termetallic compounds. Especially for the DO$\sub$23/ Al$_3$(Ti+Zr), the lattice parameter changed toward the smaller lattice mismatch between the precipitate and Al matrix as the Zr content increased. Therefore, it was considered that the improvement of thermal stability of Al-8wt.% (Ti+Zr) alloys was due to the formation of the ternary Al$_3$( Ti + Zr) intermetallic compounds.

We investigated the electrical properties the starting material and sintering condition on the laminated PTC thermistor for micro circuit protection. The influences of $BaTiO_3$ powder with the 0.3 and 0.45 ${\mu}m$ size and the electrical characteristics (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ sintered at 1350~1400$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in a reducing atmosphere (1% $H_2/N_2$). The sintered (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was increased pore and the grain size was decreased according to increasing Sr additions. In relative permittivity, the phase transition temperature of (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was decreased for 2.5$^{\circ}C$ according to increasing 0.01 mole Sr additions, and the phase transition dose not appeared about 0.3 mole Sr addition. The (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was show the low resistance from 0.01 mole to 0.05 mole by Sr addition, regardless of sintering temperature. The (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ was show $10^2$ jump order at 0.1 and 0.2 mole Sr addition, and PTCR of the sintered $(Ba_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})TiO_3$ does not appeared about 0.3 mole Sr addition, regardless of the sintering temperature and starting material size.

The effects of Sr and (Ti-B) additives on the tensile properties of AC4A recycled (35% scrap content) aluminum alloys were investigated. An acicular morphology of the eutectic Si phase of as-cast specimens was converted to a fibrous morphology upon the addition of Sr. Moreover, morphology of the Sr modified eutectic Si phase became finer due to a T6 heat treatment. The grain size of the ${\alpha}$-solid solution was decreased by the addition of (Ti-B) additives. Depending on the treatment conditions of the as-cast specimens, i.e., no addition, a Sr addition and a (Ti-B)+Sr addition, the tensile strength levels of the as-cast specimens were 182, 192, and 204MPa, respectively. The corresponding strengths of T6 heat-treated specimens were 293, 308, and 318MPa. Elongations of the as-cast specimens were 2.2, 3.1, and 5.6%, and the corresponding elongations of the T6 heat-treated specimens were 4.6, 6.1, and 7.6%. The percentage of the reduced section area in the tensile specimens was also increased by the Sr and (Ti-B) additives. Sr and (Ti-B) additives changed the microstructure and the distribution of defects in the castings, resulting in an improvement of the tensile properties of AC4A aluminum alloys. According to our test results, recycled (35% scrap content) AC4A aluminum alloy met all of the KS requirements of the tensile strength and elongation values of AC4A aluminum alloy except for the elongation value of the one specimen condition, in this case the as-cast no-addition condition.

The influence of TiO2 addition on the sintering and microstructure of magnesia ceramics was studied. An excess amount of TiO2 over the solid solubility limit reacted with magnesia to form Mg2TiO4 compound above 130$0^{\circ}C$. The deviation of lattice parameter of MgO was estimated to be under 0.2% when existence of TiO2 in MgO. The addition of TiO2 markedly promoted the densification of MgO at comparatively low temperature and the sintered density of about 98% of the theorectical was obtained at 150$0^{\circ}C$, 2h. The densification was mainly governed by grain growth of MgO and the effect of Mg2TiO4 existing as a second phase on depression of grain growth of MgO was not exhibited.

Titanium-Boron-Aluminium master alloys are used extensively to grain-refine a wide range of aluminium alloys. This experiment was performed by various amounts of AlTi5B1 addition to the technical aluminium alloys, and also by changing cast temperature and hold time of the melts. The macrostructures were shown that with increasing the addition of AlTi5B1 to the melts, the grain became finer. In the case of cast temperature high enough over $900^{\circ}C$, the grain became coarser, but hold time change not affected on the grain refinement. Particles of $TiAl_3$, and $TiB_2$ were found in the grains and grainboundaries. The important role of grain refinement in this experiment were mainly $TiAl_3$, and also $TiB_2$ those have been confirmed in TEM, SEM, EDS, WDX and X-ray diffraction.
