Ceramic Fabrication Technology (Materials Engineering, 20)

Bridging the gap between textbook science and real-world engineering and operational applications, this reference presents comprehensive and easy-to-follow summaries and evaluations of fabrication techniques for ceramic and ceramic composite specimens and components. The author addresses both conventional and alternative powder-based fabrication, chemical vapor deposition, melt processing, and reaction processing. Topics include the preparation of ceramic powders, plastic forming, colloidal processing, the use of additives to aid densification, hot pressing, the fabrication of filaments for reinforcement, rapid prototyping, and gaseous impurities.

This reference summarizes information concerning the engineering aspects of producing ceramic and ceramic composite components. The author addresses both conventional and alternative powder-based fabrication, chemical vapor deposition, melt processing, and reaction processing. The use of additives in all of these processes is reviewed, and specific attention is given to the size and shape capabilities of different fabrication methods. Topics include the preparation of ceramic powders, plastic forming, colloidal processing, the use of additives to aid densification, hot pressing, the fabrication of filaments for reinforcement, rapid prototyping, and gaseous impurities.
