The structural properties of green and sintered bodies prepared using a modified slip casing method were investigated as a function of the solid loading and air pressure. The green density increased with an increase in the solid loading. The green density was not changed but the volume of the green body increased an increase in the air pressure. There were no microcracks or pores in the green body manufactured by the modified forming method. Also, the sintered body had a compact microstructure.
