This
course is primarily intended for graduate students in the field of powder technology and for all
other people who want to learn more about forming
of powder components.
The course teaches a systematic approach to solving
forming and powder processing problems. Ceramic examples will be used throughout
the course but the methods can be applied to metal,
hardmetals, cermets and intermetallic powders
as
as well.
The course will focus
on understanding the phenomena and only occasionally on quantifying them. The
systematic approach will be based on
colloid chemistry, which is the basis for handling fine powders.
No
specialized prior knowledge is necessary.
