Department
School
Inamori School of Engineering
Credits 3
The science and technology of whitewares (i.e.; primarily stonewares and porcelains) covering mineralogy; raw material characterization; mixing; rheology and plasticity; forming processes; drying; firing; phase equilibria; thermal stress evolution; microstructural characterization; physical properties; and glazing. This course provides students with a fundamental basis for analyzing problems encountered in whitewares production so that general knowledge can be used to solve specific problems.
