  • Descrição: This second edition of the book first published in 1983 contains additional discussion of recently developed and significantly improved ceramics: zirconias, alumina bioceramics, aluminum titanate, aluminum nitride, boron carbide, titanium diboride, and sintered silicon nitrides and silicon carbides. Other materials reviewed include silicates, porcelains, glass-ceramics, oxides (single and mixed), other carbides and nitrides, SiAlON, molybdenum disilicide, carbons, and graphite. The intention of the book is to provide a compilation of the available information on ceramic corrosion and to provide an unbiased guide to the selection and appropriate use of these materials in corrosive environments. Corrosion is defined as any degradation of appearance, properties, or structure caused by chemical attack. This attack can result from exposure to acids, alkalis, halogens, hot gases, fused salts, or molten metals. After a brief introduction, the author presents an overview of the fabrication routes for each material listed above. Because corrosion can be influenced by secondary phases or porosity, the next chapter contains illustrations of various ceramic microstructures and includes a useful list of the etch treatments used on polished samples. Two short sections on corrosion mechanisms and experimental methods follow. The core of the book is a chapter (and a 12 table appendix) dealing with the resistance of ceramic materials to various corrosive agents. Subjects include maximum working temperatures of ceramics in inert and oxidizing environments and resistance of ceramics to attack by gases and vapors, acidic or alkaline solutions, halogens and fused halides, fused salts and low-melting oxides, or metals and nonmetals. The book concludes with a presentation of the properties and applications of different ceramics and a discussion on choosing materials for use in a corrosive environment. A second appendix contains a list of ceramic suppliers in the United Kingdom. The author makes a noble attempt at treating a very broad topic. Because the subject matter is so extensive, no one area is covered in great detail. The lengthy bibliography (153 references) is a good starting point for the reader requiring more information. Seemingly written with the applications engineer in mind, the book is also a good basis for anyone interested in ceramic corrosion. Though not highly technical in nature, it is an adequate reference book on the subject.
