"Sintering Applications" ed. by Burcu Ertuğ

The aim of this book is to help the graduate and doctoral students in materials science and related disciplines on the sintering of several materials. This book presents a results of some of the more recent results and applications of Sintering - one of the final stages of ceramics fabrication that is used to increase the strength of the compacted material.

In the Sintering of Ceramics section, the fabrication of electronic ceramics and glass-ceramics were presented. Especially dielectric properties were focused on. In other chapters, sintering behaviour of ceramic tiles and nano-alumina were investigated. Apart from oxides, the sintering of non-oxide ceramics was examined. Sintering the metals in a controlled atmosphere furnace aims to bond the particles together metallurgically.
In the Sintering of Metals section, two sections dealt with copper containing structures. The sintering of titanium alloys is another topic focused in this section. The chapter on lead and zinc covers the sintering in the field of extractive metallurgy. Finally two more chapter focus on the basics of sintering, i.e viscous flow and spark plasma sintering.
