New book offers presents information on new measurements and characterisation methods in ceramic manufacturing, and includes characterisation of mechanical properties
A new book from the American Ceramic Society, Improved Ceramics through New Measurements, Processing, and Standards, provides valuable information for anyone seeking to improve quality in ceramics.
The improvement of quality is one of the most important tasks in ceramic research today.
The lack of measurements and data has been one of the major obstacles that has limited the progress of ceramic applications.
New measurements with advanced measurement techniques are one of the key factors for improvements.
This book addresses these issues.
The book presents new ceramic information in three parts: characterisation, processing, and standardisation.
It presents information on new measurements and characterisation methods in the ceramic manufacturing process, and includes characterisation of mechanical properties microstructure, machining techniques, and status on activity of standards in ceramics.
The book is a selection of peer-reviewed research papers in this field.
The Symposium on Improved Ceramics through New Measurements, Processing, and Standards addressed the state-of-the-art characterisation techniques and their applications for the production of ceramics.
The symposium also addressed the state of international standardization, which is essential not only to the production of reliable ceramics worldwide, but also to the removal of trade barriers between countries.
Researchers from universities, government institutes, and industry made presentations on quality improvements through new measurements and processing, new applications of ceramics, new and existing databases, and reference materials for calibration of measuring devices.
Their papers are presented in this book.
This volume is indispensable for academic as well as industry researchers and for anyone seeking broader knowledge on the quality improvements through new measurements and processing technology.
Improved Ceramics through New Measurements, Processing, and Standards is available from American Technical Publishers for œ87.00.
