Concentration area
97135 - Conventional and Advanced Materials
Objectives
- To enable students to relate the raw materials, characterization, forming and sintering with the properties of ceramics;
- Know the methods of forming and sintering of traditional and advanced ceramics;
- Know and operate equipment involved in processing of ceramics.
Motivation
The graduate programs receive students from various fields of knowledge whose formations are not dealt with the processing area and characterization of ceramics. This course provides students of all backgrounds a broad view of ceramics, with emphasis on raw materials, processing and characterization.
Syllabus
- Natural and synthetic raw materials
- Ceramic powders preparation (crushing and synthesis)
- Characterization of ceramic powders
- Pressing
- Slips casting
- Extrusion
- Injection
- Drying
- Firing (pre-sintering events - sintering and cooling)
- Surface treatments
- Finishing
- Mechanical behavior
Evaluation criteria
Two written tests (P1 and P2), 1 Seminar (SEM) and 1 Technical Report (REL), all with scores from 0 to 10 points.
Observations
Assessment criteria: Final Average (MF) is calculated taking into account the weights: MF=(2P1+2P2+SEM+REL)/6.
