High temperature processes for producing materials PPT模板.pptVIP

MSE 120 - 1999 High temperature processes for producing materials. Introduction. All of our steel, copper, aluminum and silicon (including semiconductor grade silicon) is made by processes that at some point use high temperatures. In producing ceramic parts, high temperature “sintering” is common. This part of the course is therefore devoted to some of those high temperature operations. [By “high temperatures” is meant temperatures between about 400 and 15000C.] Earlier we learned that many oxides can be reduced to metals by the inexpensive reducing agents carbon and hydrogen at high temperatu
