MSE 5354 - Processing of Ceramics

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Materials Science and Engineering

Description:

This course provides students with a comprehensive background in synthesis and processing of ceramic powders and fabrication of ceramic components. The course begins with a discussion of ceramic powder synthesis by chemical methods (Chapter 1). Powder characteristics and techniques or powder of characterization are discussed in Chapter 2. The roles of inter-particle forces in the preparation of stable suspensions and the science of colloidal processing are the bases of Chapter 3. Methods of fabrication of green compacts by such techniques as die-pressing, slip-casting, tape-casting are covered in Chapter 4. Surfaces, surface energies, role of surface curvatures in mass transport, and mechanisms of sintering are discussed in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 is devoted to methods of deposition of films and coatings of ceramics by sol-gel processing and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Prerequisites: "C" or better in MSE 5353 AND Full Major status in Materials Science & Engineering.
