This popular reference offers a clear understanding of the scientific principles of ceramics processing required for the development and production of new advanced ceramics. In the latest edition significant new material has been added to the chapters on raw materials, liquids and surfactants, vapor deposition, printing, coating processes and firing. Contains several new features including processing flow diagrams, tables summarizing important points, 100+ new figures as well as descriptions of defects and their causes which are either itemized in the text or summarized in a table. Also includes numerous problems and examples following each chapter.
Here is the first multidisciplinary overview of the scientific principles and engineering technology involved in processing ceramic powders and granular materials into fired ceramic products. It presents a systematic development of the chemistry underlying modern materials, such as glass, porcelain, enamels, abrasives, and refractories. Explains their characterization and specification, selection of processing additives, testing requirements, causes and prevention of product defects, and all other areas of development. Each process involved in producing ceramic products is clearly detailed; these include packing, mixing, separation, granulation, forming and molding, drying, finishing, and much more.
