Tape Casting: Theory and Practice / Edition 1

by Richard E. Mistler, Eric R. Twiname

Overview

This major reference book is divided into two sections; the first deals with the practical, hands-on understanding of individual areas of tape casting and the other targets the understanding of the overall system. Readers can quickly address current problems with tried and true fixes and their relation to the overall process. The book handles the problem diagnosis separately from the standard production of quick-fixes. Tape Casting will benefit technicians, engineers, and engineering managers, as well as professors and students.

Editorial Reviews

Looking for a substitute for mica in manufacturing capacitors during World War II, Glenn Howatt developed a process that now has evolved into a primary technique for forming thin, essentially two-dimensional sheets of just about any material that can be produced as a powder. Mistler and Twiname compile ideas based on their combined 35 years of experiment and experience for technicians, engineers, and students of those fields. They look at the history, materials technology and selection, slip preparation, the tape casting process, further tape processing, applications of the technology, and water-based processing.
