Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

Aluminous bodies are used in a wide variety of applications as a medium-strength ceramic. In this work, a full composition range of alumina, kaolin, and feldspar were fired at 1230 °C and 1400 °C, and were shown in a triaxial presentation, which can be used to make body calculations. Domestic kaolin has been studied for its potential as a raw material to produce aluminous bodies. The porosity and shrinkage of the samples were measured. When fired at 1400 °C, a wider composition range would result in porcelain-like bodies. The thermal expansion of the selected samples showed that the substitution of clay with alumina increased the thermal expansion coefficient. Firing at higher temperatures also affected thermal expansions in a similar manner.
