Ceramic Microstructures Property control by processing [Hardcover]

This text deals with the effect of processing on the microstructure and properties of advanced structural and electroceramic materials. It fulfils the need for a well illustrated book explaining the relation between microstructure and properties in structural ceramics, featuring high quality micrographs and characterization techniques.Ceramic processing. General influence of microstructure on ceramic properties. Techniques for characterizing ceramic microstructures. Preparation of ceramic samples for microscopy. Structural oxides I: Al2O3 and mullite. Structural oxides II: ZrO2. Synthetic structural non-oxides. Refractories. Ceramic matrix composites. Index.`This extremely well written text is an impressive addition to the fairly rapidly growing number of modern texts dealing with ceramic materials.'
British Ceramic Transactions
`I thoroughly recommend anyone with an interest in ceramics to read the book or dip into the wealth of knowledge to find the numerous gems of information. Researchers and those involved in characterisation and development on ceramics will find a prominent place to keep their volume.'
Journal of Institute of Refractories Engineers
`This book is interesting and informative and achieves the aim of the authors in that you can dip into it at a variety of levels dependent on interest and knowledge...The text is illustrated with clear diagrams and excellect photographs,... it contains much useful information to aid the refractory engineer when making the difficult choice of which material is best suited for a particular application.'
