The heating microscope continues to be an extremely useful tool for studying the behaviour of materials undergoing heating cycles. In ceramics it is indispensable for studying frits and glazes. The use of computerised image analysis techniques allows …
The well known Misura® Heating Microscope continues to be an extremely useful tool for studying the behaviour of materials undergoing heating cycles. This equipment allows to study a wide range of materials and it combines the classical concept of …
A new optical technique has been introduced to measure the state of tensions in glazed ceramic bodies, it has already been applied to the study of delayed crazing and pyroplastic deformation of ceramic body. The report explains how ceramic …
Traditional sintered ceramic bodies, like stone-ware or porcelain-ware, undergo a viscous flow sintering process, where the driving force is mainly given by the surface tension of the liquid glassy phase, and the speed of the process is controlled by …
Generally, the deformations of ceramic materials during and after firing may have a complex origin. If the products are made up of a single material, such deformations are mainly due to pyroplastic phenomena. In the case of glazed materials, two …
Generally, the deformations of ceramic materials after firing may have a complex origin. If the products are made up of a single material, such deformations are mainly due to pyroplastic phenomena. In the case of glazed materials, two further factors …
This report has been presented in the meeting called "High quality raw materials and their controls", which was held by Il sole 24 ore Business Media - Gruppo Editorial Faenza Editrice, Sassuolo, Auditorium Confindustra Ceramica, 22 february 2008. …
The glasses are intrinsically complex systems, quite difficult to study because their structure has no long range order and they are not in a thermodynamically stable state. Ceramic glazes are undoubtedly far more complex than glasses because in most …
The manufacturing of porous wall tiles is quite ancient but even with the newest technology still suffers of old problems. The study of the state of tension between glaze and body is fundamental in order to avoid some common defects, such as delayed …
