商品簡介
Sintering, also known as "firing," is the ceramics processing step in which heat is applied to raw material or powder to produce a solid object. Although sintering is a process that began in the darkness of time, this is the first reference on its theories and applications to the production of advanced ceramics with target microstructure. Rahaman (ceramics and materials science, U. of Missouri-Rolla takes readers from the basics to advanced processes, beginning with descriptions of chemical reactions and restructuring in crystalline solids and other materials in sintering, solid-state and viscous sintering, grain growth and microstructure control, liquid-phase sintering, sintering process variables and sintering practice. He also covers such special topics as inhomogeneities and their effects, constrained sintering, constitutive models for porous materials, solid solution additives and reaction sintering. This is well-organized, very well-illustrated and accessible. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
