Tape casting applications fuel cells

As we mentioned in the Foreword, the uses for tape casting as a fabrication tool have advanced well beyond the scope envisioned by the pioneers in the field some 50 years ago. In this chapter we will review some of the standard applications as well as some uses that are only beginning to be recognized as potential applications for this unique fabrication technology Almost everyone involved with ceramic processing knows that thin, flat sheets can be produced using this technique, but how many ceramists appreciate the fact that 1.2 x 2.5 m (4 x 8 ft.) sheets that are 0.5 to 0.76 mm (0.020 to 0.030 in.) thick are produced by tape casting for use in the manufacture of molten carbonate fuel cells These are some of the diverse applications that we will discuss in the sections that follow.
