Rheological Properties Optimization of Ceramic Compositions: Effect of Plasticizer and Water Content

The rheological properties control of ceramic compositions shaped by extrusion is of major interest for themanufacturers to ensure the final products quality and the profitability of the process. In this...

Analysis and Optimization of the Binder Burnout of3D-Printed Ceramic Components

The production of sophisticated ceramic components by means of 3D printing is becoming increasinglyimportant in modern industry. Thanks to this method, prototype production or the manufactureof small series can be...

Monitoring and Assessment of the Effect of Defects in Ceramics

As even small single defects in ceramic components can initiate their failure during operation, with potentially dramatic consequences for the user, researchers worldwide seek to safely detect critical defects and...

Pin Indentation: A Method for the Local Mechanical Characterisation of Highly Porous Ceramic Materials

This study highlights the benefits of testing brittle, highly porous materials locally in addition to the well-established testing methods such as uniaxial compression. Small scale variations in porosity, pore size,...

Contribution of Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing for the Diagnostic of Tiled Floors Pathologies

The characterisation without damage of the integrity of structures and/or elements has become a major issue for many industrial sectors. In this context, the French Ceramic Society – Technical Centre...

Humic Substances as Additives in Ceramic Clays and Bodies

As part of a German ZIM Project (ZF4268907 AG7) dealing with the role of humic substances in ceramic clays, the effect of geogenic humic substances and humic substance additives on...

New Carbon/Sulphur Analyser Measures both Organic and Inorganic Samples

When using conventional elemental analysers for carbon and sulphur determination in solids, the user must decide whether to use a resistance furnace to analyse organic compounds or an induction furnace...

A New Thermal Shock Application-Oriented Testing Method for Ceramic Components and Refractories

Ceramics and refractories are often used in high-temperature applications like industrial furnaces. Therefore, thermomechanical and heat resistance of ceramic and refractory materials are important. The material behaviour is described by...

Methods of Rheological Measurements for the Characterisation of Silicate Slurries

The present publication investigates the flow behaviour of concentrated silicate slurries and furthermore novel rheological measurement, analysis, and assessment procedures for characterising the static and dynamic flow behaviour of the...

Precise Optical Temperature Measurement in Thermal Recycling Processes

Temperature control plays an important role in thermal heat treatment for the recovery of recyclable materials. The optical measuring method using pyrometers has become established for recording the temperature. The...
