Definition of Ceramic:

A ceramic is an inorganic, nonmetallic solid prepared by the action of heat and subsequent cooling. Ceramic materials may have a crystalline or partly crystalline structure, or may be amorphous.

Properties and its Uses:

    • Hard and strong.
      • Building materials: Tiles, bricks , roofs, cemen t, abrasive for grinding.
    • Very high melting point and good insulator of heat.
      • Insulation: Lining of furnace, engine parts.
    • Chemically inert and noncorrosive.
      • Kitchenware :Cooking pots, plates, bowls.
    • Inert and noncompressible
      • Medical and dental apparatus: Artificial teeth and bones

Raw Materials in the Ceramic:

Typical raw materials normally used in a ceramic industry are clay, feldspar, pottery stone, silica sand and talc.. etc.

What is Ceramic Industry?

It is the mixing of ceramic materials to make or form a useful product. For example Ceramic Tile Processing , This will be explained in the following slides:

Batching:

Batching or proportioning may be done by volume or by mass. However, proportioning by mass is far more accurate than that by volume.

Grinding:

The grinding of solid raw materials involves a whole series of operations aimed at reducing the size of materials.

10 of 13

Pressing:

Pressing is the simultaneous compaction and shaping of a powder or granular material confined in a rigid die or flexible mould.

11 of 13

Drying:

This is carried out to increase the strength of the unfired tile and also to reduce the risk of tile loss due to deformation as the tile rapidly shrinks or cracks as the steam is rapidly evolved in the kiln.

12 of 13

Firing:

Firing is usually the final stage in the ceramic tile manufacturing, at which the weak, unfired, newly pressed piece of tile is transformed into a strong, durable product due to the effect of chemical and physical reactions within the green body during heating.
