About this title

Synopsis

Derived from a professional short course developed at IBM, this highly readable, heavily illustrated introduction gives engineers and other non-material scientists the practical knowledge needed to work efficiently with ceramic materials. The first section addresses the chemical make-up and sources of ceramics, including the physics of clay and building blocks of ceramic behaviour. Section Two presents bonding and crystal chemistry concepts as a basis for understanding ceramic properties and behaviour. The third section discusses analytical techniques used to characterize ceramics; strength limitations and the effect of processing on surfaces. The final section explores the full range of modern structural and electronic applications of ceramics, and includes a case history of ceramics used in electronic packaging. This book should be of interest to engineers; non-material scientists.
