Sustainable Saggar-Preparation Based on Recycled Silicon Carbide and Alumina Powders

by

Ceramic waste from broken kiln furniture, crucibles and saggars of the technical ceramic industry accumulates each year in very large amounts. It contains highly valuable materials like silicon carbide (SiC) and alumina (Al2O3). A recycling of this materials is indispensable to reduce the raw material consumption and waste production, thus decreasing the environmental impact of … Weiterlesen …

High Temperature Ceramics for Light-Weight Kiln Furniture

by

Alumina- and mullite-based materials for kiln furniture application of up to 1700 °C have been successfully developed. The materials show significantly improved thermomechanical properties in comparison to commercial benchmark products permitting the design of kiln furniture with reduced mass. This leads to significant energy savings in high temperature processes. It is demonstrated that the achieved … Weiterlesen …
