All Refractories Are Ceramics but Not All Ceramics Are Refractories
Ceramics and refractories cover a wide range of fields and
applications, and their relevance can be traced as far back as
24,000 BC to the first man-made piece of earthenware, and as
recently as the late 1900s when ceramics and ceramic matrix
composites were developed to withstand ultra-high temperatures.
Beginning with a detailed history of ceramics, An Introduction to
Ceramics and Refractories examines every aspect of ceramics and
refractories, and explores the connection between them. The book
establishes refractories as a class of ceramics with high fusion
points, introduces the fundamentals of refractories and ceramics,
and also addresses several applications for each. Understand
Ceramic Properties and Refractory Behavior The book details
applications for natural and synthetic ceramics, as well as
traditional and engineering applications. It focuses on the various
thermal and thermo-mechanical properties of ceramics, classifies
refractories, describes the principles of thermodynamics as applied
to refractories, and highlights new developments and applications
in the ceramic and refractory fields. It also presents
end-of-chapter problems and a relevant case study. Divided into
three sections, this text: Introduces and details the applications
of ceramics and refractories Discusses the selection of materials
and the two stages in selection Describes the phase equilibriums in
ceramic and refractory systems Outlines the three important
systems: unary, binary, and ternary Considers corrosion of ceramics
and refractories, failures in ceramics and refractories, and the
design aspects Addresses bonding, structures of ceramics, defects
in ceramics, and ceramics' microstructures Covers the production of
ceramic powders starting from the raw materials Explains four
forming methods Highlights three types of thermal treatments
Defines mechanical properties, and thermal and thermo-mechanical
properties Classifies materials and designates classes Addressing
topics that include corrosion, applications, thermal properties,
and types of refractories, An Introduction to Ceramics and
Refractories provides you with a basic knowledge of the
fundamentals of refractories and ceramics, and presents a clear
connection between refractory behavior and ceramic properties to
the practicing engineer.
