THERMAL-ANALYSIS AND THE PROCESSING OF ELECTRONIC AND MAGNETIC CERAMICS

Control of processing parameters, in both conventional ceramic routes and novel gel processing routes, is vital in the production of electro nic and magnetic ceramics. The role of thermal analysis in the provisi on of basic data for the understanding of both types of processing rou te is discussed with special emphasis being placed upon the production of 1-2-3 YBCO superconductors ctors and MgO-based soft ferrite materi als for TV deflection unit applications.
