Download or read book Ceramic Hardness written by I.J. McColm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the utilization of ceramic materials is developing at a great pace, so too is the science of ceramics improving the understanding we have about these high-technology materials. New and improved ways of examining and investigating monolithic ceramics and ceramic composites are also being developed and reported at a great pace in a wide-ranging area of the scientific and technical literature. This book has been written with the aim of increas ing the awareness of the general materials worker of developments in modern ceramics and of bringing to a focus how much the study of their hardness can contribute to our understanding of them and lead to technical data that can be of considerable use in this fast-growing field. The readership will consist of materials scientists, metallurgists, and engineers moving into the new worlds of advanced ceramics and ceramic-containing composites. Detailed works on hardness are to be found in the metallurgical area, where much of the theory and early applications were developed. This book does not overly stress this early development of theory and practice, but concentrates wherever possible on the ceramics and glasses. Thus Chapter 1 introduces the general subject area to those whose interest may have been blunted in the past by the emphasis on one area of materials. Subjects raised in the first chapter are developed more fully in later chapters.

Download or read book Hardness Estimation of Minerals Rocks and Ceramic Materials written by Andrzej Szymański and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1989 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mechanical properties of minerals constitute a sparsely investigated field of study compared with other areas of mineral physics. The minerals for which all crystallomechanical parameters are known are few, and until now it has not been possible to state unequivocally whether one mechanical property alone could be adequately used in defining most minerals. For this reason, it is essential that the mechanical properties and deformations of minerals be investigated, treating mineral crystallomechanics as a section of mineralogy equal in importance to crystallo-optics and crystallochemistry, for example. This book provides a survey of hardness test methods in current worldwide use, and includes examples indicating the merits and deficiencies of these methods. The ample references included in the text are given particularly to enable the reader to broaden his knowledge in a given field. The tables found at the end of the book, as well as the hardness tests results from various methods included in the text itself, are meant to serve as a rough guide in the choice of appropriate test method, whilst simultaneously providing the reader with reference details.

Download or read book Mechanical Properties of Ceramics written by Joshua Pelleg and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the mechanical properties of ceramics and aims to provide both a solid background for undergraduate students, as well as serving as a text to bring practicing engineers up to date with the latest developments in this topic so they can use and apply these to their actual engineering work. Generally, ceramics are made by moistening a mixture of clays, casting it into desired shapes and then firing it to a high temperature, a process known as 'vitrification'. The relatively late development of metallurgy was contingent on the availability of ceramics and the know-how to mold them into the appropriate forms. Because of the characteristics of ceramics, they offer great advantages over metals in specific applications in which hardness, wear resistance and chemical stability at high temperatures are essential. Clearly, modern ceramics manufacturing has come a long way from the early clay-processing fabrication method, and the last two decades have seen the development of sophisticated techniques to produce a large variety of ceramic material. The chapters of this volume are ordered to help students with their laboratory experiments and guide their observations in parallel with lectures based on the current text. Thus, the first chapter is devoted to mechanical testing. A chapter of ductile and superplastic ceramic is added to emphasize their role in modern ceramics (chapter 2). These are followed by the theoretical basis of the subject. Various aspects of the mechanical properties are discussed in the following chapters, among them, strengthening mechanisms, time dependent and cyclic deformation of ceramics. Many practical illustrations are provided representing various observations encountered in actual ceramic-structures of particularly technical significance. A comprehensive list of references at the end of each chapter is included in this textbook to provide a broad basis for further studying the subject. The work also contains a unique chapter on a topic not discussed in other textbooks on ceramics concerning nanosized ceramics. This work will also be useful as a reference for materials scientists, not only to those who specialize in ceramics.
Download or read book Ceramic Cutting Tools written by E. Dow Whitney and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in ceramics as a high speed cutting tool material is based primarily on favorable material properties. As a class of materials, ceramics possess high melting points, excellent hardness and good wear resistance. Unlike most metals, hardness levels in ceramics generally remain high at elevated temperatures which means that cutting tip integrity is relatively unaffected at high cutting speeds. Ceramics are also chemically inert against most workmetals.
Download or read book Ceramic Hardness written by GD. Quinn and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written with the aim of increasing the awareness of materials scientists, metallurgists, and engineers of recent developments in hardness testing of modern ceramics. Hardness is not a unique property, but is a response of the material to a specific indentor and test conditions. Several models of hardness are presented including simplified elastic or elastic plastic models, which set bounds upon the hardness limits. The sensitivity of hardness to crystallographic influences is well covered. The book covers the common test methods such as Mohs, Rockwell, Vickers, and Knoop, as well as less well known methods such as Berkovich and scratch hardness. Substantial progress has been made in recent years in utilization of microindentation methods to study fracture toughness, residual stress surface layers, and wear processes in ceramics.

Download or read book Ultra High Temperature Ceramics written by William G. Fahrenholtz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive book to focus on ultra-high temperature ceramic materials in more than 20 years Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics are a family of compounds that display an unusual combination of properties, including extremely high melting temperatures (>3000°C), high hardness, and good chemical stability and strength at high temperatures. Typical UHTC materials are the carbides, nitrides, and borides of transition metals, but the Group IV compounds (Ti, Zr, Hf) plus TaC are generally considered to be the main focus of research due to the superior melting temperatures and stable high-melting temperature oxide that forms in situ. Rather than focusing on the latest scientific results, Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics: Materials for Extreme Environment Applications broadly and critically combines the historical aspects and the state-of-the-art on the processing, densification, properties, and performance of boride and carbide ceramics. In reviewing the historic studies and recent progress in the field, Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics: Materials for Extreme Environment Applications provides: Original reviews of research conducted in the 1960s and 70s Content on electronic structure, synthesis, powder processing, densification, property measurement, and characterization of boride and carbide ceramics. Emphasis on materials for hypersonic aerospace applications such as wing leading edges and propulsion components for vehicles traveling faster than Mach 5 Information on materials used in the extreme environments associated with high speed cutting tools and nuclear power generation Contributions are based on presentations by leading research groups at the conference "Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics: Materials for Extreme Environment Applications II" held May 13-19, 2012 in Hernstein, Austria. Bringing together disparate researchers from academia, government, and industry in a singular forum, the meeting cultivated didactic discussions and efforts between bench researchers, designers and engineers in assaying results in a broader context and moving the technology forward toward near- and long-term use. This book is useful for furnace manufacturers, aerospace manufacturers that may be pursuing hypersonic technology, researchers studying any aspect of boride and carbide ceramics, and practitioners of high-temperature structural ceramics.

Download or read book Compressive Strength Hardness and Identification Damage in Ceramic Materials written by James Lankford (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardness and compressive strength of several strong ceramics are measured from room temperature to 1000 C. Similarities in behavior, and the results of microscopic examination, are interpreted in terms of the relative contributions of microplasticity and microfracture to material failure during compression testing and microhardness indentation. It is shown that microplasticity alone is an insufficient basis upon which to relate material response under the two test conditions, and that tensile microfracture is a significant contributor both to compressive failure and to subsurface indentation deformation, hence to hardness. Previous determinations of the strengths of several ceramics subject to impulsive loads were interpreted in terms of a theory based on material inertia. Recent experiments are described, which show that the dynamic strengthening mechanism is athermal, as required by the inertial theory, and that microcrack growth, rather than initiation, is suppressed by the inertial effect. Indentation microfracture measurements in the low load, near threshold regime were carried out using scanning electron microscopy. Results were interpreted in terms of existing theoretical treatments.
Download or read book Structure and Properties of Ceramics written by A. Koller and published by . This book was released on 1994-06-03 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern ceramic materials differ from the traditional materials which were only based on natural substances. It is now possible to prepare ceramics using a wide range of properties and as an area this field has evolved as a very broad scientific and technical field in its own right. In practice one encounters ceramics in practically all branches of materials science and the characteristics are so wide ranging that the common basis of these substances is not always immediately apparent. All ceramic materials are prepared by ceramic technology, and powder substances are used as the initial raw materials. Their physical properties are an expression not only of their composition, but primarily of their structure. Thus in order to fully understand the properties of ceramics, a knowledge of their structure is essential. This book is intended as a source of such knowledge. All the chapters are written by authors with vast experience in the various fields of ceramics who provide a detailed description of the interrelationships between the structure and behaviour of ceramic materials.
