Heating microscopes were commercially introduced 60 years ago, and they immediately gained an important role in material science and engineering thanks to their wide field of application [1]. Nowadays, these instruments are used in both industry and …
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 …
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 …
Thanks to the new double optical dilatometer, the ceramic scientist has the possibility to follow the behaviour of the sample during the heat treatment without interfering with the process. The applications brake the limits of traditional dilatometry …
The study of the behaviour and properties of ceramic materials during the heating process is one of the most critical steps in the development of innovative products in the fields of advanced and traditional ceramic materials. With the optical …
The heating microscope has been used for many years for the research on the glass behaviour. Beside the classical determination of softwening point and sphere point, the hot stage microscope can supply more useful information, if the images of the …
The heating microscope continues to be an extremely useful tool for studying the beahviour of materials undergoing heating cycles. In ceramics it is indispensable for studying frits and glazes. Nonetheless, manual analysis is extremely laborious and …
