Abstract: To provide a zirconia perfect sintered body which has a chroma of an excellent color tone and excellent translucency as compared with a zirconia mill blank for dental cutting and machining prepared from a zirconia raw material powder containing various stabilizing materials while maintaining high strength, and does not cause deformation.

Abstract: A biocompatible composite material comprising a substrate having a glass-hydroxyapatite ceramic layer disposed thereon, and optionally having an intermediate glass layer between the substrate and the layer. The glass-hydroxyapatite ceramic layer comprises a continuous glass phase having a hydroxyapatite ceramic dispersed therein, said hydroxyapatite ceramic having a calcium/phosphorous molar ratio of 1.50 to 1.75, wherein said hydroxyapatite ceramic is comprised mainly of hydroxyapatite. The surface portion of the layer is in a roughened state having voids and having the hydroxyapatite ceramic exposed. The composite material may be produced by a method comprising applying a blend of a powdery glass with a hydroxyapatite ceramic to the surface of a substrate with or without a glass layer disposed thereon, firing the resulting coated substrate and subjecting the fired coated substrate to an etching action with an acid.

Abstract: A thin rolled steel plate, and method and apparatus for producing it is disclosed. The thin rolled steel plate is formed with a drum shape in cross-section with a thickness ratio of a central portion to the edge portions of at least 1.1. The rolled steel plate is rolled having a concave drum shape during the rough rolling step and/or the first half of the hot finishing rolling step so as to achieve the desired drum shape. The plate is subsequently rolled in the second half of the hot finishing rolling step and the cold finishing rolling step by concave drum shaped rollers which reduce its thickness while not altering its drum shape.
