Engineering Ceramics and Processing Techniques
Engineering property requirements and limitations of traditional ceramics. Advanced ceramics for engineering
application-reliability consideration, toughening of ceramics, high temperature-crabide, nitride. SIALON and other
Ceramics. Engineering applications: Ceramics in heat engines, power generation, aerospace application, nuclear
reactor, ceramics for tribological application, ceramic cutting tools.
Advanced Processing techniques: Ultrastructure processing and its potential impact on ceramic industry, powder
processing and characterization. Fabrication techniques: Powder compaction, isostatic pressing, hot pressing, hot
isostatic pressing. Slip processing, organic slips, slip casting, tape casting and injection moulding-process
considerations. Porous ceramics and ceramic fibres. Microwave sintering.
