Sintering of Ceramics

Sintering of Ceramics provides the only comprehensive treatment of the theories and principles of sintering and their application to the production of advanced ceramics. It identifies and examines the variables that influence densification and microstructural evolution in order to design processing conditions for achieving the required target microstructure. Each chapter includes a set of exercise problems and numerous references for further study. The book also includes approximately 25 tables, 300 figures, and 5 appendices to provide comprehensive background knowledge and data in the field.
