Bridging the gap between textbook science and real-world engineering and operational applications, this reference presents comprehensive and easy-to-follow summaries and evaluations of fabrication techniques for ceramic and ceramic composite specimens and components. The author addresses both conventional and alternative powder-based fabrication, chemical vapor deposition, melt processing, and reaction processing. Topics include the preparation of ceramic powders, plastic forming, colloidal processing, the use of additives to aid densification, hot pressing, the fabrication of filaments for reinforcement, rapid prototyping, and gaseous impurities.
