The study of the behaviour of traditional ceramic materials may encounter unexpected difficulties due to the high percentages of natural or synthetic raw materials used in manufacturing processes. Traditional ceramic materials are always obtained …
This report has been presented at the meeting called "Actualisation and improvement of raw materials and ceramic bodies quality for tiles production", which was held by Faenza Editrice, Sassuolo, Auditorium Assopiastrelle, 16 february 2006. Some …
Some frequent glazing defects such as crazing are caused by an inadequate state of tension between the glaze and the ceramic body which is strongly related to various parameters. The most important are the coefficients of thermal expansion of glaze …
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 multi-layer products (glazed or …
This report has been presented at the meeting called "Raw materials and ceramic bodies for high quality tiles", which was held by Gruppo Editorial Faenza Editrice, Sassuolo, Auditorium Assopiastrelle, 17 february 2005. The issue relating to break of …
Expert System Solution has recently designed new measure techniques by means of optical insturments. These techniques concern the surface tension measurement in frits and melted glazes via Heating Microscope HSM, Bending of green tiles due to …
Just 30 years ago the ceramic industry was considered to have reached its technological limits, with nothing left to invent. History, however, showed this not to be the case and in recent years the industry has developed enormously, bringing a wealth …
Expert System Solutions has recently developed new no-contact and high temperature measurement techniques for the laboratory and for testing processes. The first results in this field were the automatic heating microscope, essential for studying the …
Expert System Solutions has been working for 14 years in the field of reserch and development of new equipment for the ceramic sector. Misura instruments inclueds Heating Microscopes and Double Beams Optical Dilatometes. These instruments offer a …
Traditionally sintered ceramic bodies, such as stone-ware or porcelain-ware, undergo a viscous flow sintering process. The driving force is mainly given by the surface tension of the liquid glassy phase, and the speed of the process is controlled by …
