MOL-52056 Processing of Advanced Ceramics, 5 cr

Additional information

Processing of advanced ceramics will give you basic understanding on how to manufacture advanced ceramics materials for modern applications. Applications typically range from energy production, bio/medical, electronic and structural applications which require specific electrical properties (insulation, semi-conductivity or superconductivity) or high resistance to heat, oxidation and wear. Shaping methods range from conventional methods, such as slip casting and pressing, to 3D printing of advanced ceramics. Shaped products are sintered at high temperature to give the material its final properties.

This course is suitable for post graduate studies but also for students with no study background in the field of ceramic materials. It is recommended that the students contact their supervisor(s) and the person responsible of the course for a possibility for a tailored implementation with better suitability for post-graduate studies.
Suitable for postgraduate studies.

Learning Outcomes

After course students know the principles behind particle interaction and can control them and use the knowledge to powder processing route of ceramic manufacturing. Student has also knowledge to apply alterernative chemical routes. Student can list different stages of ceramic manufacturing process. Student can explain how different raw material selection and processing steps affect to final structure of material. Student can apply the additive systems for colloidal processing. Student can select shape forming method when producing mass production components small series and different shapes of components. The student can suggest heat treatment cycles for power compacts having different raw materials and made by shape forming methods.
