Phase diagrams and ceramic processes

Ceramic products are fabricated from selected and consolidated raw materials through the application of thermal and mechanical energy. The complex connec­ tions between thermodynamics, chemical equilibria, fabrication processes, phase development, and ceramic properties define the undergraduate curr...
