Powder Characterization and Compaction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transparent Ceramics

Part of the book series: Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering ((TMMME))

Abstract

Once a ceramic powder is synthesized, there should be some parameters or data to demonstrate its properties or quality. The understanding of powder quality is important for two reasons: (i) quality control of the starting powders and (ii) microstructure monitoring or controlling of the final ceramics with desired properties and performances.
