Ceramography provides detailed instructions on how to saw,
mount, grind, polish, etch, examine, interpret and measure ceramic
microstructures. This new book includes an atlas of ceramic
microstructures, quantitative microstructural example problems with
solutions, properties and data tables specific to ceramic
microstructures, more than 100 original photographs and
illustrations, and numerous practical tips and tricks of the
trade.
An excellent reference guide for technicians in quality control and
R&D, process engineers in ceramic manufacturing, and their
counterparts in engineering firms, national laboratories, research
institutes, and universities.
