Ceramic Microstructures - Property control by processing (Hardcover, 1994 ed.)

Ceramic Microstructures considers the many types of microstructure observed in engineering ceramics, refractories and ceramic matrix composites. All the stages of microstructural evolution are covered, from producing and characterizing starting powders to calcining, milling, shape forming, sintering and heat treating. However, this book is not just about microstructures and how they affect properties: it is also about how to process ceramics to achieve the properties desired.
