Description
McGraw-Hill Handbook Of Structural Ceramics 1991 Edition by Melvin M. Schwartz
Advanced structural ceramics are a unique and sophisticated class of materials. They are finding increased usage in many load bearing applications - such as cutting tools, automotive engine components, heat exchangers, and aerospace equipment - as well as in gene splicing equipment, office machinery, and prosthetic devices. This handbook bridges the gap between the technical and commercial literature by presenting clear and authoritative coverage of processing techniques, classes of ceramics, current mechanical property data, materials manufacture, and parts fabrication and assembly methods. It is an indispensable reference for design engineers, ceramists, and materials and process engineers.
