Rice R.W. Ceramic Fabrication Technology

CRC Press, 2003. — 362 p. — ISBN 0824708539.Ceramic Fabrication Technology provides a complex evaluation of the ceramic and ceramic composite fabrication techniques…The volume contains interesting and useful information on ceramic fabrication for engineers working in ceramic processing and manufacturing plants, but also for the students.The concept and goal of this book is to provide a link between basic science and the ultimate, but nonexistent, detailed engineering/operational treatment of the subject. It is intended to complement several very useful books emphasizing scientific aspects by providing a more pragmatic engineering-oriented approach and a broader, more comprehensive perspective. The book includes industrially and technologically important topics such as pressure sintering, reaction processing and fabrication, and various fusion processes, as well as speciality processing/fabrication, e.g., for porous or composite bodies.Background and overview

Forming and pressureless sintering of powerderived bodies
Use of additives to aid densification
Other general densification and fabrication methods
