Ceramic Fabrication Technology (Materials Engineering, 20)

Presents comprehensive and easy to follow summaries and evaluations of the fabrication techniques for ceramic and ceramic composite specimens, and components.

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.

Most books on making ceramic bodies focus on the dominant technology of consolidating and densification of (primarily chemically derived) powders, mainly via sintering [1-3]. This volume features comprehensive and easy-to-follow summaries and evaluations of the fabrication techniques for ceramic and ceramic composite specimens and components Rice Roy W.
