Practical Pointers for Ceramists - Vol. I

All articles from the Ceramic Processing E-zine are included in this two-volume collection. These newest volumes in the author’s “for Ceramists” series contain a tremendous number of practical pointers for practicing ceramic engineers, technicians, students, and managers. Discussions consider suspension rheology and viscosity definitions, measurements, and applications; viscometers and their applications; particle size distribution measurements and applications; particle packing considerations; chemical additives and the how? when? where? and why? of their use; zeta potentials; major processing problems such as syneresis and dilatancy; Predictive Process Control implementation; mixing, HID, deagglomeration, and delamination; gelation tests; firing curve modifications; and much, much more. The complete “for Ceramists” series remains an economical desk reference for all who deal on a daily basis with the control of ceramic process suspensions, bodies, and forming processes.
