Silicon Carbide Ceramics: Structure, Properties and Manufacturing focuses on SiC ceramics, i.e., polycrystalline ceramics manufactured by sintering. The book provides a review of various manufacturing technologies for SiC ceramics. Chapters focus on the history and evolution of SiC ceramics, structure and properties, HPSC and DSSC: Hot-pressed and Direct-Sintered SiC, RSSC: Reaction Sintered SiC, NBSC: Nitride-Bonded SiC, Glass-bonded SiC; SiC-Reinforced SiC Technology, and Non-Ceramic Uses of SiC: Powder and Coating Technologies. With a detailed emphasis on the properties and commercial applications of SiC ceramics, this book is an essential reference resource for all those working in high strength ceramics, specifically silicon carbide ceramics. Academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers working in high strength ceramics, specifically silicon carbide ceramics, need a fundamental and comprehensive overview of the properties of various types of SiC ceramics, their production variants, characterization options and applications.
