(Ceramic powder processing)
- Ford Motor Co., Dearborn, MI (USA). Powertrain and Materials Research Lab.
The traveler attended and presented a technical paper at the Second International Powder Processing Conference and participated in the data analysis of the working group meeting of the International Energy Agreement Annex II. Of particular interest were discussions and papers about the status of German projects for Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} powder characteristics for sinterability, tests relating Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} ceramic properties to powder properties, and advances in understanding hardness of agglomerates and dry-pressing theory. These advances in ceramic technology are likely to be bases for improvements in several energy R D activities. In the IEA meeting, the traveler presented a discussion of the X-ray diffraction methods which were used in Ford's contributions to the round robin. 8 refs., 9 figs.
