Revolution in Ceramic Processing

  • Chapter
3rd European Symposium on Engineering Ceramics

Abstract

Ceramic manufacturing processes are advancing vigorously at the present time. Although most engineering ceramics are still made by the traditional powder pressing, slip casting or extrusion routes, followed by green machining, firing and diamond machining,1 there is a growing use of novel processes in the technical areas of engineering ceramics.2 Vapour deposition, sol-gel processing, reaction forming and colloidal processing immediately spring to mind as examples. These areas may be relatively small in commercial terms at the moment, but they represent a revolutionary change in process thinking.
