Ceramic Processing And Sintering (Materials Engineering)

This work provides a through overview of all relevant issues concerning the processing and sintering of advanced ceramic materials. It discusses powder preparation and characterization; colloidal and sol-gel techniques; powder consolidation and forming; sintering theory and practice; and microstructure evolution. The importance of each step, and the critical interconnections among steps in the overall fabrication of ceramics, are delineated.
