Abstract

Volume 2, Section 4 gives a survey of the properties and composition of ceramics and also briefly discusses their preparation. Here, all materials produced by ceramic methods, i.e. moulding and firing, are included under the general heading of ceramics. Often, however, the term ceramics is restricted to the oxides of all kinds of metals. The survey referred to above shows that, because of their physical properties, these materials are important to the designer. He will therefore be especially interested in the facilities open to him in the field of shaping and the requirements that can be made of the sintered objects. These requirements concern

  1. (a)

    dimensional stability;

  2. (b)

    homogeneity of chemical composition and of structure; which, together determine the properties of the ceramic product.
