Description: Much of the success of composites can be attributed to the development of innovative processes. Many useful composites are envisaged by materials scientists but the problem of how to make them is often the greater hurdle.
This process-oriented book focuses on the basic principles of composite fabrication. Upon studying these processes, one is immediately struck by the diversity of ideas and techniques. In some cases, these have been borrowed from other technologies and were designed for use with quite different materials. In other cases some very clever new means have been developed which take account of the characteristics of metals and ceramics and the higher temperatures which are typically involved in their processing.

Description: Rare earth oxides, rare earth compounds and rare earth elements find a wide range of applications in metals, glasses, ceramics and electronics. Demands for high-purity separated rare earth oxides and metals with a purity of up to 99.999% is growing. The present conference was designed to discuss the needs of the materials science community and to present advances in the field.

Description:

This edition is dedicated to researching the effect of high-pressure explosive compaction of ceramics powder on the process of binderless sintering and the properties of resulting functional ceramic materials.
