Mullite-Based
Refractories for Molten-Metal Applications
A mullite-based refractory tube was fabricated using
three methods: extrusion, isostatic pressing and ramming.
The ramming method was found to be the most cost-effective. Sadanand Achari and L.N. Satapathy
Use of Steel Fibers in the Refractories Industry
Steel-fiber-reinforced castables are widely used under
severe conditions because of their high mechanical strength
and thermal shock resistance. Hamed Samadi
Industrial Vacuum Cleaning Systems
Color Variations
in Screen Printing Ceramics
A study was conducted to determine the influence of
printing and flooding speeds, squeegee angle and pressure,
and condition of squeegee edge on color variation in ceramic
printing. C. Moschik, W. Eppich and G. Hübner
Turbine Blade Coating System
Stain-Resistant
Sol–Gel Silica Coatings on Stoneware Tile
A new sol–gel coating method, compatible with current
industrial ceramic processes, allows multilayer film synthesis
on porcelainized stoneware tile. E. Miorin, C. Pagura, M. Battagliarin, M. Fabrizio,
M. Guglielmi and P. Miselli
