Technology of Ceramic Whitewares

 

Technology of Ceramic Whitewares 

Texture effects, high temperature characterization of raw materials, enthalpy of fusion of feldspars, dewatering of

slips and control of slip properties.  Drying, effect of processing methods on the physical properties of the bodies.

Grain growth, sintering and vitrification in whitewares.  Effect of variation in triaxial and other whiteware

compositions, temperature and furnace atmosphere on microstructure.

Specialisation on the technology of bone-china and porcelain (chemical, sanitary, electrical) manufacture.  Ceramic

colours and decoration.  Development and control techniques as applied to the whitewares.

Strength of porcelain insulators.  Factors affecting breakdown of electric insulators.  Low alkali porcelains.

Preparation and role of synthetic steatite, cordierite in ceramic bodies.  Heterogeneous polycrystalline systems.
