Publisher's Synopsis
Ceramic engineering is a rapidly emerging field of engineering concerned with manufacturing of ceramics and ceramic composites. It focuses on understanding and analysing processes related to purification of raw materials, production and formation of chemical compounds, their characteristics, etc. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects like sintering technologies, hybrid processes, analysis of different structures, mechanical and thermal properties, etc. which are relevant to this field. Some of the modern usage of ceramic materials like high-temperature ceramics, ferromagnetic materials, advanced ceramic coatings, are also discussed in the book. It will help the readers to keep up with the rapid changes in this field.
