Hochleistungskeramik

High-performance ceramics
Test methods for monolithic materials and selected test standards for powders

(Please note: This product is only available in German.)

Their high hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance and other properties make high-performance ceramics an important material. This 2nd edition of DIN Taschenbuch 470 is a comprehensive collection of standards for testing monolithic high-performance materials, including a series of selected documents on ceramic powders. The diversity of the standards included thus reflects the areas of application for high-performance ceramics. The well-thought-out compilation is intended to offer manufacturers and users of monolithic ceramics all the standards that are most frequently required in practice in one place.

The 37 documents collected provide information on the test standards from the following areas:

• General and structural properties
• Thermomechanical properties
• Thermophysical properties
• Mechanical properties at room temperature
• Determination of fracture toughness
• Selection of samples for the evaluation of properties
• Standards for testing ceramic powders

In addition, the book contains a list of standards in the field of monolithic advanced ceramics and ceramic powders that have not been printed.
 

New edition with many changes

The field of standardization for high-performance ceramics is subject to constant further development — just like the material itself. Many new and revised documents can be found in this 2nd edition of the collection of standards, others have been withdrawn and are no longer represented here; a list of these standards is included in the book.

These are the changes that have been made since the first edition in 2011:

• 14 newly included standards
  The new additions include such important documents as Parts 1 and 2 of DIN EN ISO 13383 for microstructural characterization and Parts 1 and 2 of DIN EN ISO 23145 for determining the bulk density of ceramic powders. Other newly included standards cover, for example, thermal expansion testing, thermal diffusivity and hardness testing.
   
• 2 revised standards
  In DIN EN 820-4 for determining thermomechanical properties, a previously incorrect translation was corrected, and DIN EN ISO 18753 for determining density using a pycnometer has been extensively revised and expanded and supplemented to include important aspects.

Thanks to the carefully considered selection and the large scope, manufacturers, testers and users will find this collection of standards to be a comprehensive working aid for professional practice.
