Course Description
Learn a practical understanding of the value and use of phase diagrams in ceramic technology
This course will give you a practical understanding of the value and use of phase diagrams in ceramic technology, whether you have a background in their use or not. The course starts with basics and builds into the practical application of a wide variety of different phase diagrams in all aspects of ceramic technology—from new product development to failure analysis.
It also discusses the kinetics (dynamics) of phase transformations and at non-equilibrium situations, which are common in ceramic processing. The field of controlled nucleation and growth of crystalline phases in glass-ceramic materials is also covered in depth. This is a comprehensive but practical phase diagram course designed for ceramic manufacturing and development personnel.
