Clayware Mechanical Properties Porosity Dependent
Porosity correlates closely to the mechanical properties
(hardness, strength and elastic constant) and Weibull modulus
of roofing tile, and empirical relationships have been obtained. H.S. Kim, T. Guifang and J.Y. Kim
Enzyme-Coagulated High-Alumina Castables
An enzyme-catalyzed coagulation method was used for
the consolidation of refractory castables, using leguminous
seeds as an economic source of urease. A.R. Studart, F.A.O. Valenzuela, V.C. Pandolfelli,
E. Tervoort and L.J. Gauckler
Refractories for Clean Steelmaking
Increased microsilica content in the MgO-based refractory
lining of a crucible decreased the Al2O3 inclusion
content in the steel through a liquid phase that formed
in the refractory lining. Wei Yaowu and Li Nan
Thin Films of Advanced Materials Via CCVD
The combustion chemical vapor deposition process and
its variations offer a novel way to synthesize coatings
of metals, oxides and polymer composites in an open atmosphere,
allowing greater flexibility in enabling next-generation
products in broadband, electronics and advanced energy applications. Subu Shanmugham, Andrew Hunt and David Motley
How Active Silica Affects Slip Properties of Sanitaryware
To show the effect of active silica on slip rheology
and casting properties, active silica derived from rice
husks was used as a replacement for quartz in the production
of sanitaryware. The replacement significantly increased
slip viscosity and casting rate. E. Özel, S. Kurama and N. Ay
