Influence of firing temperature on ceramic properties of kaolinitic clays from Duthuni, Limpopo Province (South Africa)
This study investigated the ceramic suitability of two representative kaolin samples from Duthuni area, subjected to four firing temperatures (800 oC, 900 oC, 1000 oC and 1100 oC).The objectives were to ascertain the effects of the raw clay physical, mineralogical, chemical characteristics on its …

Modelling and simulation of drying process for ceramic membrane fabrication
For ages, ceramic properties and structure is known for its brittleness and its failure such as cracking and warping. This weakness also relates to the high sensitivity of ceramic to any thermal gradient effects. Therefore, processing steps of green body of ceramic is crucial especially in membrane …

Synthesis of Ti₂AlC, Ti₃AlC₂ and Ti₃SiC₂ MAX phase ceramics; and their composites with c-BN
MAX phase ceramics are ternary ceramics with both metallic and ceramic properties. The existing backing materials in grinding wheels can be made of ceramics or metals. In these applications, ceramics have the disadvantage of low toughness, and most metals have the disadvantages of relatively high …
