Review: Ceramic fabrication is the combination of various process technologies to produce monolithic or composite ceramic pieces/components within a given shape, size and microstructure property bounds for a given composition. This book provides a broad perspective on ceramic fabrication, focusing on higher-performance monolithic ceramics and ceramic composites, especially particulate composites. There are chapters on: the preparation of ceramic powders; the use of additives in powder preparation; forming and pressureless sintering of powder-derived bodies; the use of additives to aid densification; general densification and fabrication methods, such as polymer pyrolysis and CVD; special fabrication methods, such as with filaments and fibres; and crosscutting, manufacturing factors and fabrication.
