{"product_id":"structural-ceramics-frank-riley-9780521845861","title":"Structural Ceramics: Fundamentals and Case Studies","description":"This book provides an introduction to the structural ceramics, their processing and properties. Five important groups of materials, porcelain, alumina, silicon carbide, silicon nitride and zirconia, are presented as case studies. Historical developments, the properties of constituent components, and relationships between production methods, resulting microstructures, and materials properties, are explained. The structural ceramics have many commercial applications, ranging from high voltage insulation and hot-gas filtration, to metal machining tools and surgical implants. These applications depend on combinations of chemical, physical and mechanical properties, which include structural stability over wide temperature ranges, strength, hardness, and resistance to wear. Over 200 diagrams and photographs provide visual aids to learning, and end of chapter summaries pull together key points. With numerous review questions to test understanding of the topics covered, and extensive referencing, this book is ideal for those studying materials science and engineering, or starting research in the structural ceramics area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Riley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521845866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521845861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2010","brand":"Frank Riley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790045901055,"sku":"9780521845861","price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_992d5211-7e8a-4b0e-940a-648d2df742e6.jpg?v=1707287799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/structural-ceramics-frank-riley-9780521845861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
