Description
Perfect for the new technician or engineer entering the ceramics industry as well as for the ""old hand"" who needs an update on some
aspect of ceramics processing, this resource provides practical laboratory-oriented answers to such typical processing problems as particle
segregation, agglomeration, contamination, pressure gradients, adherence to tooling, and temperature gradients during drying and firing.
The author examines the difficulties of practical testing and processing in the ceramic laboratory, such as vast differences in scale
and equipment, and shows how to evaluate results taking such variables into account. Once the laboratory work is satisfactorily completed,
the rest of the book explores serious issues involved in transferring technology from the lab bench to the plant floor and then to the
customer. The author gives advice on dealing with real-life problems such as allocating human and capital resources and overcoming customer
wariness of being first to try new procedures and processes.
Each section contains practical, hands-on suggestions on performing and
sometimes avoiding certain tasks, bringing to the reader key information that is at best sparsely available in the industry. As the author
states, ""Laboratory skills are gained by hands-on experience. The intent of this book is to accelerate the process.""
Audience
Technologists, engineers, plant personnel in the industrial ceramics industry.
