It is very important to have exact informations on the properties and characteristics of the sintered steel as a new material of machine elements. The bending fatigue tests are performed for sintered steel bend specimens and spur gears, which are notched by using a slicing blade. The fatigue test at a constant stress amplitude is performed by using an electrohydraulic servo-controlled pulsating tester. Consequently, the S-N curves are obtained and the fatigue strength is compared with flaw depth. Accordingly, this study presents the fatigue strength of sintered spur gears, the critical notch depth of sintered steel and the effects of flaw depth on the bending fatigue strength. The enhancement of fatigue strength due to carburized treatment is clarified.

Dimensional accuracy is one of the most important issues in the production of sintered parts. The iron-copper-carbon system is commonly used alloys in sintered structural parts production. The dimensional control of these alloys, however, is not easy because of their complex sintering behavior. This study is an effort to clarify the influence of common factors on dimensional change of Fe-Cu-C sintered structural parts. We determined the effect of such various parameters as chemical composition, particle diameter, compact density, sintering temperature and sintering time on dimensional changes. Consequently, we obtained a useful formula to predict the final dimension in function of these parameters. The effect of typical impurities in copper powder on the dimensional change of sintered parts has also been described.

The subcritical crack growth of sintered SiC is investigated under various corrosive atmospheres such as distilled water Murakami solution and saturated KOH solution. The KI-V diagrams are obtained by the load relaxation method and incremental displacement rate method using the double torsion technique. The obtained fracture mechanics parameters (n) of sintered SiC are 79 in Murakami solution and 39 in saturated KOH solution. These data indicate that the subcritical crack growth of sintered SiC is taking place in these two conditions and the stress-corrosion cracking is suggested to be the mechanism. With these KI-V diagrams the life of sintered SiC in these conditions is predicted.

As a function of sintering temperature and time, the electrical properties of ruthenium based thick film resistors were investigated with microstructure. The variatio of resistivity and TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance)trends of sintered speciman at various sintering temperature were different low resistivity paste(Du Pont 1721) from high one(Du Pont 1741). These phenomena are deeply relative to microstructure of sintered film. With increasing the sintering temperature for 1721 system, the electrical sheet resistivity decreased, but again gradually increased above 80$0^{\circ}C$. And TCR trends in 1721 system are all positive. On the other hand the electrical sheet resistivity of 1741 resistor system decreased with sintering temperature. And TCR trends variable according to sintering temperature. TCR of speciman sintered at $700^{\circ}C$ was negative value, and TCR of 80$0^{\circ}C$ sintered speciman coexisted negative and positive value. But in case of speciman sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$, TCR was positive value. As results of this fact, it was well known that the charge carrier contributied to electrical conduction in 1741 resistor system varied with sintering temperature.

High-quality Sr-ferrite sintered magnets have been studied by using mill scale added SrCO$_3$ and oxidents before oxidation process. The pre-added SrCO$_3$ powders were improved the degree of oxidation and crush of mill scale and the magnetic properties of Sr-ferrite sintered magnets. The small added NaNO$_3$ oxidant was also highly improved the degree of oxidation and crush of mill scale and the magnetic properties of Sr-ferrite sintered magnets; 3805 G of remanent flux density, 3240 Oe of intrinsic coercivity, and 3.45 MGOe of maximum energy product.

The microstructures of sintered products of $Fe_2O_3$or $Fe_3O_4$-Oxide added cast iron powder was investigated. And the effects of particle size distribution was investigated too. As the result, the structures of sintered products did not related to the species of Fe-Oxide. Th porosity of sintered products was decreased in size and spherodized with increasing sintering temperature, decreasing Fe-Oxide quantity. Fe-Oxide itself did not hinder sintering of cast iron powder particularly, therefore sintering could be occurred without termination of reduction of it. And the sintered products of finer particle size distribution had finer and more spherodized porosity, and had minimized the deviation of size and shape of porosity.

Magnetic and physical properties of sintered bodies prepare from waste sintered barium hexaferrite magnets which were come from fabrication process of isotropic permanent magnets were investigated. The properties of the sintered bodies were characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, and BH curve tracer. After the waste permanent magnets were milled and granulated, the granules of the waste permanent magnet powders and the commercial granules were mixed with various proportions, pressed, and sintered. although the magnetic properties were decreased gradually with the content of waste magnet powder, the magnetic characteristics of the sintered magnets at $1150~1200^{\circ}C$ were comparable to those required for isotropic permanent magnets.

Polycrystalline $Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS$ films were prepared by coaling a slurry which consisted of CdS, ZnS, $CdCl_2$ and propylene glycol on gloss substrates and by sintering in a nitrogen atmosphere. Microstructures, optical transmittance and electrical resistance of the sintered films have been investigatd. Grain shape of $Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS$ films sintered in a sealed boat was nearly spherical but the shape became, irregular when sintered in evaporating condition due to occurrence of CIGM (Chemically Induced Grain-boundary Migration). Controlling the rate of evaporation of $CdCl_2$, sintered $Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS$ films with high optical transmittance and low electrical resistance could be obtained.

Commercial pure iron powder and iron powder of coated 0.45% phosphorus were mixed with graphite powder in dry mixer to control carbon content from 0 wt% to 0.8 wt%. Mixed powder was pressed in the mould under the pressure of 510 MPa. Compacts were sintered at 118$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 min. in cracked ammonia gaseous atmosphere. Some of these sintered specimens were quenched in oil, and tempered in Ar gas. All of these specimens were investigated for microstructure, density and hardness in relation to coated phosphorus and carbon content. The results obtained were as follows: (1) The microstructure of the sintered speciments revealed that the amount of pearlite was increased with increasing C content but decreased by P-addition. (2) The P-addition affected the microstructure of pores in which the pore shape became round and its mean size was decreased by P-addition. (3) After tempering of sintered specimens the structure of pearlite was changed from fine structure to coarse one in P added specimen. (4) Hardness was higher in P added specimens.

Forging process on sintered powder metals has been applied to produce automotive parts which require a high level of strength. In those parts, the measurement of relative density is very important because a low relative density density causes deterioration of strength. In the present study, an indentation force equation was proposed by which the result obtained from the hardness measurement is used to evaluate the relative density. This equation was applied to the prediction of the relative density in cylindrical specimens which were first sintered and then forged at the room temperature and at an elevated temperature. The experimental results were compared with predictions with and without consideration of the workhardening effect on the powder.
