For the improvement of Fine Ceramics, it is necessary to be used in mechanical industry. For this industry Injection Molding Process will be applied widely in the near future. Because it is expected to have higher productivity and to form complex shapes. But Injection Molding of Fine Ceramics is not established perfectly at present. In this case, the most difficult problem is minimization of debinding time.
This report shows the result of experiment using wax binders which have less extracts at debinding process.

The method of forming thin ZrO
2 bodies by Injection molding process using acrylic binder was studied. Concerning reological characteristics and properties of thermal decomposition, acrylic binder was compared with the more generally used wax binder. The flowing characteristics of the mixture of acrylic binder indicated high viscosity and gradual change in relation between temperature and viscosity. The compacts using acrylic binder had high flexural strength compared with those using wax binder. As a result, it was observed that ZrO
2 mixed with acrylic binder filled the mold without defects. A mechanism for removing acrylic binder from compact which is different from that of wax binder was found. This mechanism made it possible to remove, without defects, acrylic binder, and to control the quantity of gas which decomposes the binder in the inner part of compact. Mixture with 45vol% acrylic binder was the best composition for injection moldability and removing binder. Sintered ZrO
2 compact was densified by HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing), and its mechanical properties were equal to those of the conventional process.

In the preparation of Al
2O
3 ceramics by the low pressure injection molding method, fine particles of raw material powder (mean particle size of 0.6μm) must be dispersed homogeneously into the organic binder in order to obtain high strength ceramics. Four different mixing methods were tested; stirrer equipped in the low pressure injection molding apparatus, automatic agate mortar, ceramic three roll mill and ball mill. It is concluded that the ball mill mixing method prepares the most uniform slurry among the four mixing methods. The specimen sintered at 1700°C for 3 hrs, after being shaped in the horizontal flow type mold from the slurry of the ball mill mixing method, shows a strength of 40.0 Kgf/mm
2 and its Weibull constant is 6.9. Furthermore, the flexural strength of the sintered specimens increased from 40.0 Kgf/mm
2 to 46.2 Kgf/mm
2 and their Weibull constant increased from 6.9 to 14.5, as the metal mold was changed from horizontal into vertical flow type.

To solve the problem that an extremely long debinding time is required before sintering in case of the ceramics powder injection molding process, the water binder is used for its easy debinding property in stead of polymer or wax binder and the shape fixing is done by freezing the binding water in the die cavity after compression forming.
The vacuum freeze drying is applied for removing the water binder in order to prevent the cracking by the shrinkage of formed powder.

The earliest substantial experimental work to grow diamond from gaseous phase at low pressure was disclosed by Eversole of UCC in 1962 and independently by Russian team of Derjaguin. Recently, the diamond film and particles with well-define habites were synthesized by Spitsyn and his co-warkers by the chemical transport process in a close system, but experimental details have not been reported.
Independently, we have shown that the growth of diamond was feasible by hot filament assisted CVD and micro-wave plasma assisted CVD process in a gas flow system.
The problems actually encountered at the diamond CVD are how to accelate thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon and how to limit the deposition of non-diamond carbon except diamond at the temperature below 1100 C. In order to satisfy these condition, it is necessary to introduce higher concentration of atomic hydrogen than equilibrium concentration related to thermal dissociation of hydrogen gas.
In this paper, our experimental work to grow the diamond from gaseous phase and also the deposition process associated with atomic hydrogen are reported.

Hard carbon films were prepared by r.f. plasma chemical vapor deposition (p-CVD), using hydrocarbon gases diluted with hydrogen gas. A relationship between the film properties and plasma conditions were investigated with film deposition rate, optical emission spectroscopy and electrostatic probe technique. From these results, it seems that the ionic species in the plasma should play a important role for the formation of hard carbon films. The film structures deposited on several substrates were examined by transmission electron microprobe (TEM). Almost all of the films have dominantly amorphous structure, but contain diamond particles in the amorphous phase for the films prepared only from CH
4 source gas. Typical hard carbon films have a half of diamond's hardness (about 4600 kg/mm
2) and a high electric resistivity (>10
10Ω⋅cm).

This paper reports a preliminarily study on the formation of diamond on commercially available carbon substrates by means of microwave (2.45 GHz) glow discharge. The features of growri diamond on carbon substrates were compared with that on silicon substrates. Diamond was formed under the following conditions: methane concentration, 0-2.5%; total pressure, 5.3 kPa; substrate temperature, 800-900°C. For identification, the deposits were studied by electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The interlayer spacings of the deposits on carbon substrates are in good agreement with the values reported for diamond. A Raman peak observed at 1333 cm
-1 agrees with the reported value of 1332.5 cm
-1. The deposits were observed with transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The deposits on carbon substrates are spherical particles without truncation by substrate, which is distinctly different from those on other substrates such as silicon and molybdenum. The shape may be formed by the regression of the substrate surface with the progress of the gasification reaction of substrate with activated hydrogen. The growth features of the deposites on carbon substrates are similar to those on silicon formed under higher methane concentrations. This indicate that the hydrocarbon concentration on a carbon substrate is higher than that on a silicon substrate. Diamond also deposited from only hydrogen gas without methane on silicon substrate set by the side of a carbon substrate. That shows the chemical transport reaction of carbon from carbon substrate to silicon by activated hydrogen.

The diamond layer was deposited on the cemented carbides cutting inserts by microwave plasma assisted CVD process. The microwave plasma assisted CVD equipment had precise substrate position control system and substrate cooling system. So uniform plasma was generated on the three dimensional substrate such as cutting inserts and the surface temperature of the substrate was controlled independently from the microwave input power.
The diamond coated insert at relatively high pressure and microwave input power showed good cutting performance for high speed Al-Si alloy cutting.

The effect of various rare earth elements added in various forms, i.e. metallic addition, dispersion of oxide and superficial application of oxide particles, on the high temperature oxidation resistance of Ni-Cr and Fe-Cr alloys was investigated.
Rare earth elements exhibited two excellent improving effects in reducing the oxidation rate and in suppressing the spalling of the scale. The effects of rare earth elements were much stronger than those of the other reactive elements in all additional forms.
In order to understand the mechanism by which the rare earth elements improved the oxidation resistance of the alloys, the oxygen pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity of the Cr
2O
3 doped with NiO and rare earths was measured. It was found that the simultaneous doping of NiO and rare earth elements changed the defect structure of Cr

-9Pa. This result suggested that the formation of an n-type region in the scale adjacent to the alloy might act to improve the oxidation resistance by reducing the diffusion rate of cations in the scale.

Improvement has been made on the thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride ceramics which is one of the hopeful candidates of substrates for semiconductor devices. The thermal conductivity has been thought to be reduced by the presence of some impurities such as oxygen and transition metal ions in the ceramics. However, much improvement was made on the thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride ceramics by using a suitable amount of yttrium oxide and calcium oxide as a sintering aid. Addition of yttrium fluoride has also brought on faily good results for improvement of its thermal conductivity.

2-7.7 mol%YOF, metastable tetragonal zirconia single phase was obtained as a sintered body. For the other samples (<7.7 mol% YOF) whole or most of the tetragonal phase transformed diffusionlessly to monoclinic phase during cooling.X-ray study showed that the unit cell of the tetragonal phase has larger axial ratio (c/a), and that of the monoclinic phase was more distorted (larger P) than that in the ZrO
2-YO
1.5 system. According to the measurement by DTA on encapsulated specimens, the tetragonal phase in the ZrO
2-YOF system transformed at higher temperatures than that in the ZrO

Among around 200 sorts of mineral containing rare-earth elements, monazite, bastonaesite, xenotime and ion absorption ore are the most valuable ones.
World reserves of rare earth minerals amount to 45 million tons of contained rare-earth oxides (REO) and China, with reserves of 36 million tons, accounts for 80% of total world reserves.
This volume would be enormous as compared with the annual consumption of around 25 thousand tons. Thus we can say that rare-earths are not "rare" today. They are one of affluent resources now.
To obtain high purity rare-earth elements on industrial scale, ion exchange and solvent extraction methods are explored.
Recently, we can obtain rare-earths at moderate prices on the ground of their intense resources develop-ment, wide application and expansion of production.

The research of the Nd-Fe-B magnet was started from an expectation that B and/or C might expand Fe-Fe interatomic distances in rare-earth iron alloys, leading to increase the Curie temperature of them. After the success in developing the powerful Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets with record high energy products, however, a crystal structure analysis revealed that Fe-Fe pairs having small interatomic distances existed also in the Nd-Fe-B alloy. It is emphasized that the success in this work is a result of many fortunate matters which were not expected in the beginning.

Magnetic Properties of Nd-Fe-B based magnets with Co-Al or Co-Ga addition were investigated. Co-Al or Co-Ga addition increases Curie temperature and coercive force, hence, improves temperature coefficient of magnetic induction, and makes it possible to use the Nd-Fe-B magnets at a higher temperature. The coercive force of the magnets with Co and Ga increases with increasing B content, while it hardly changes with B content for Co and Al containing magnets. Also, the magnets with Co and Ga have a high coercive force of about 12 kOe even at low boron content of 3.5 at % which is far lower than that of Nd

Using Ti-10 wt%Co binary mixed powder compact of 1.0 mm thickness as the insert material, bonding behavior of Y-PSZ was examined under the coexistence of solid and liquid by liquid phase sintering. Bonding was carried out at 1473 K for 3.6 ks under the pressure of 1-9 MPa by hot pressing, and the highest bending strength of 213 MPa was achieved in the specimen bonded under 3 MPa.
There existed the large grains in the center region of Ti-Co alloy after bonding, while near the Y-PSZ/Ti-10 wt%Co interface extremely small grains were observed. Ti and Co were observed on the fracture surface after bending test, however Zr or Y was not noticed. Therefore the interfacial strength between Y-PSZ and Ti-Co alloy is assumed to be much higher. A newly built layer, about 0.3 μmm thick, was also recognized along the interface between Y-PSZ and Ti-Co alloy.

Colored nacreous pigment used so far is a mixture of various colored pigments and titanium dioxide coated mica (TiO
2-coated mica). One of the major problems for apprications to cosmetics and other fields is the lack of stability and safety of it. We have developed a colored nacreous pigment having bright color tone and pearly gloss having excellent stability and safety. In order to obtain such colored nacreous pigment, a part of titanium dioxide layer on mica was reduced to black titanium oxide, and then the reduced TiO
2-coated mica was coated with titanium dioxide. The products obtained were the colored nacreous pigment, which was colored by interference color of titanium dioxide, and had extremely improved color tone, good consistency of color appearance and interference color. Various colors were available by adjusting the thickness of the titanium dioxide layer coated on the reduced TiO
2-coated mica. This colored nacreous pigment does not contain any colored pigments.

3 ceramic with a BL structure were much effective on these electrical characteristics. So, these electrical characteristics were obtained by controlling the BL structure of (Sr, Ca)TiO
3 base ceramics. The grain sizes of SrTiO
3 ceramics were controlled between 10μm and 150 μm.
In addition, The increase of the leakage currency through a MFC was unobserved after supplying several high surge impulses, while that of a ZnO ceramic varistor was much more in the same condition.
When MFC was applied on a power transformer circurt and a fast rise-up impulse noise were supplied to the cercuit, it has been comfirmed that the induced noise level observed on a secondary transformer circuit can be depressed to lower level. In consequent, MFC is available to prevent electrical equipments from being damaged by a noise or a high surge energy.

Joining of a metallic conducting BaPbO
3 ceramic with a semiconducting TiO
2 ceramic has been made at 1000°C in air, with the aim to form ferroelectric BaTiO
3 or PbTiO
3 layers at the interface between the two ceramics by solid state reaction.
The formation of BaTiO
3 and PbTiO
3 double layers at the reaction interface between the two ceramics joined was confirmed by XMA and X-ray diffractometry, but no ferroelectric behavior in the dielectric properties of the joined body of the two ceramics has been observed in the present experiment.

It is well known that large thermal stresses arise in a ceramic-metal joint with thermal expansion mismatch. Therefore, to avoid fracture of a joint, it has been recommended a "compressive joint" in which thermal expansion coefficient of a ceramic is smaller than that of a metal.
A finite element calculation (F.E.C.), however, showed that a large tensile stress occurred even in a ceramic part of a compressive joint. We have already dealt with a special joint in which the values of the elastic constants of the ceramic are the same as those of the metal. The result of the calculation are found in qualitative agreement with F.E.C. In this paper, another stress analysis is carried out for a usual joint with different elastic constants, to obtain quantitative agreement with F.E.C.

The Al
2O
3 based ceramics having 25 vol% single addition of different carbides were prepared by hotpressing and their resistance to oxidation in air mainly at 1573-1773 K was intensively investigated. The ceramics containing SiC in powder or whisker form were found to have the highest resistance to oxidation among many ceramics prepared with a single addition of different carbides. It was revealed out that the scale of the above ceramics, containing mullite phases, had a very tight structure with few micro-pores. Discussion as for the reason why Al
2O
3-SiC system shows such a superior oxidation resistance has been given.
