9780331417425: Constitution and Microstructure of Porcelain

Synopsis

This book systematically examines the microstructure and constitution of bodies composed of feldspar, quartz, and clay substance, materials used in the production of whiteware and porcelain. The author's research contributed to an ongoing scientific investigation of the physical and chemical changes affecting these materials when subjected to the temperatures employed in commercial ware production. This study of laboratory-prepared bodies and commercial specimens representing global technical practices provides essential data for both scientific research and industrial application. The book includes microscopic photographs to illustrate the changes in the raw materials and the development of new constituents, making it an invaluable text for ceramicists, petrographers, and materials scientists working with porcelain and allied materials. It sheds light on the relationship between constitution, microstructure, and burning temperature, contributing to a deeper understanding of the behavior and properties of these materials in various firing conditions.
