2.1.1. TRADITIONAL CERAMICS


History
 Clay has been used by humans as long ago as
37,000-12,000 BC (Ice Age!)
 Clay was first fired by humans in what is now East
Asia, and by 6,000-4,000 BC, firing clay had become
widespread. Cultures on almost every continent now
have long-standing ceramic traditions.
 Fired clay enabled humans to store grain and led to
a more settled, agricultural existence.
 Glazes were first developed in 4,000 BC in
Egypt/Mesopotamia. Glazes developed not only for
decorative purposes, but they also made containers
strong and waterproof.

Examples of ceramic tiles


There are two basic types of tiles: glazed or unglazed
– Glazed tiles have a vitreous coat applied on top of the body, which provides
additional wear resistance. For decoration (digital or trad.) glazed tiles are required.
– Unglazed tiles undergo a single firing and are not decorated

2.3. RAW MATERIALS USED IN TRADITIONAL CERAMIC

 Mineral silicates (khoáng silicate), such as clays (đất


sét) of various compositions, feldspar (tràng thạch)
and silica (SiO2), such as quartz (vd: cát thạch anh),
are among the most abundant substances in nature
and constitute the principal raw materials for
traditional ceramics.
 Another important raw material for traditional
ceramics is alumina (Al2O3).
 These solid crystalline compounds have been
formed and mixed in the earth’s crust over billions of
years by complex geological processes.

2.3. RAW MATERIALS USED IN TRADITIONAL CERAMIC


Clay as a Ceramic Raw Material
 Clays consist of fine particles of hydrous aluminum
phyllosilicate (sheet silicate) minerals.
 Most common clays are based on the mineral:
smectite (Ca,Na,K)(Al,Mg,Fe,Zn)2(Si,Al)4O10(OH)2.nH2O,
kaolinite (Al2Si2O5(OH)4).
 When mixed with water, clay becomes a plastic
substance that is formable and moldable.
 When heated to a sufficiently elevated temperature
(firing), clay fuses into a dense, strong material.
Thus, clay can be shaped while wet and soft, and
then fired to obtain the final hard product.

• Clay is inexpensive
• When water is added to clay charge
-- water molecules fit in between neutral
layered sheets
-- reduces degree of van der
Waals bonding weak van der Waals

2.4. POWDER PREPARATION


Common methods for Ceramics

M. N. Rahaman, Ceramic Processing


and Sintering. CRC Press, 2003,pp 53 59

59

2.4. POWDER PREPARATION

 Particles and other ingredients (binders and


lubricants) are ground and blend wet or dry.
 This is followed by screening or sizing to yield a
powdered product having the desired range of
particle sizes and homogeneity.
 For multicomponent systems, powders must be
thoroughly mixed with water and perhaps other
ingredients to give flow characteristics that are
compatible with the particular forming technique.

28
16-Jan-24

2.4. POWDER PREPARATION


by mechanical methods
 The process in which small particles are produced by
reducing the size of larger ones by mechanical
forces is usually referred to as comminution. It
involves operations such as crushing, grinding, and
milling.
 For traditional, clay-based ceramics, machines such
as jaw, gyratory, and cone crushers are used for
coarse size reduction of the mined raw material, to
produce particles in the size range of 0.1–1 mm.
 For the production of fine powders: high-
compression roller mills, jet mills (also referred to as
fluid energy mills), and ball mills.
M. N. Rahaman, Ceramic Processing and Sintering. CRC Press, 2003,pp 52 61

61

2.4. POWDER PREPARATION


by mechanical methods
 In the milling process, the particles experience mechanical
stresses at their contact points due to compression, impact,
or shear with the mill medium or with other particles.
 The mechanical stresses lead to elastic and inelastic
deformation and, if the stress exceeds the ultimate strength
of the particle, to fracture of the particles.
 The mechanical energy supplied to the particle is used
not only to create new surfaces but also to produce other
physical changes in the particle (e.g., inelastic deformation,
increase in temperature, and lattice rearrangements within
the particle). Changes in the chemical properties (especially
the surface properties) can also occur, especially after
prolonged milling or under very vigorous milling conditions.

2.5.1. SLIP CASTING


(Tạo hình đổ rót)
• A slip (hồ) is a suspension (huyền phù) of clay and/or other
nonplastic materials in water.
• When poured into a porous mold (commonly made of plaster of
Paris (thạch cao)), water from the slip is absorbed into the mold,
leaving behind a solid layer on the mold wall.
• The thickness of pieces depends on the time.

• Slip casting operation

wet body partially dry completely dry


 The most common effect of drying (by hot air convection)
can be described by the sequence:
 Transfer of heat from air to piece
 Transformation of water from liquid to vapour
 Removal of vapour from surface of piece
 Transport of liquid water from piece interior to surface
 Drying too fast causes sample to warp or crack due to
non-uniform shrinkage 103

2.7.1. SINTERING (quá trình kết khối)


Definitions
Sintering: is a processing technique used to
produce density-controlled materials and
components from metal or/and ceramic powders
by applying thermal energy.
(Sintering: removal of pores between particles
accompanied by shrinkage (densification) and
grain growth)
Basically, sintering processes can be divided into
two types:
 Solid state sintering
 Liquid phase sintering

2.7.1. SINTERING
Driving force (Động lực)
 Driving force for sintering: is the reduction in surface
free energy of the consolidated mass of particles. High
energy solid-gas surfaces are replaced by low energy
solid-solid interfaces (grain boundaries).
 At microscopic level, the driving force is related to the
difference in surface curvature and consequently of
partial pressure and chemical potential between different
parts of the system.

Neck formation Pore removal


and shrinkage

Effect of particle size: the smaller the particles, the higher the radius of curvature and the
chemical potential → higher sintering rate.

2.7.1. SINTERING
Characteristics of Sintered Ceramics
 Typically, ceramics with a small grain size are stronger
than coarse-grained ceramics. Finer grain sizes help
reduce stresses that develop at grain boundaries due to
anisotropic expansion and contraction.
 Apparent porosity - The percentage of a ceramic body
that is composed of interconnected porosity.
 True porosity - The percentage of a ceramic body that is
composed of both closed and interconnected porosity.
 Bulk density - The mass of a ceramic body per unit
volume, including closed and interconnected porosity.
 Apparent density
 True density
 Specific density 120

2.7.1. SINTERING
Sintering aims (mục đích kết khối)
 Sintering aims, in general, to produce sintered parts
with consistent and, if possible, designed microstructure
through control of sintering variables.

 Microstructural control means the control of grain size,


sintered density, and size and distribution of other phases
including pores.

 In most cases, the final goal of microstructural control is


to prepare a fully dense body with a fine grain structure.

125

125

2.7.2 FIRING (NUNG)

 After drying, the green ceramic is placed in the kilns


when they are cold and is then heated up on a
predetermined time-temperature schedule to a
selected maximum temperature. The firing
temperature (900-1400ºC…) depends on the
composition and desired properties of the finished
piece.
 This temperature is usually held for a certain period
(up to 3 hours) called the soak.
 After the soak, the heat source can be reduced or
shut off, and the ware allowed to cool in the furnace
until it is cool enough to be removed.

2.7.2 FIRING (NUNG)


Firing conditions (các điều kiện nung)
 The maximum rate of temperature change that
ceramic ware can withstand depends on the shape
of the ware and the mechanical strength of the body.
 Fast firing:
 Tile: tfiring ≥ 30 minutes, and tfiring = 45 minutes is
common.
 Tableware (the shapes are diverse and sometimes
more fragile): six hours.
 Sanitary ware (larger shapes): 12 to 15 hours.
 A single-fire process is lower in cost.
 A two-fire process is easier to control for consistent
high-quality ware free of defects.

2.8.1. CERAMIC GLAZE (MEN GỐM)


140
Overview
 Glazes are the ceramic coatings done on ceramics,
and enamels are done on metals.
 In a given application, a ceramic coating may render
the substrate (or the body) impervious, mechanically
stronger, more resistant to abrasion and scratching,
chemically more inert, more readily cleanable, and
aesthetically pleasing.
 Glazes and enamels are formed by melting and
solidification. The composition of these coatings is
similar to that of glass.
 Almost all vitreous coatings are expected to be
homogeneous, smooth, and hard.

2.8.1. CERAMIC GLAZE (MEN GỐM)


141
Overview
 These coatings are usuaIly silicate glasses that may
or may not include dispersed crystals or bubbles.
 As a glaze is fired, its structure changes
continuously:
 Materials initially present decompose and fuse.
 Bubbles are formed and rise to the surface, and
reactions take place with the body under the glaze.
 The interface between the glaze and body is rough
because of the differences in solubility in the body
constituents.

2.8.1. CERAMIC GLAZE (MEN GỐM)


145
Properties of glaze
The surface tension (Sức căng bề mặt)
 The surface tension of the melting glaze depends on
the composition and temperature.
 When the temperature increases, the surface
tension decreases very quickly.
 When softening or completely melting, the change
rate of surface tension will decrease.
 The coating must have a low surface tension, so it
will spread uniformly over the substrate, and not
crawl away from edges and holes.

145

145

2.8.1. CERAMIC GLAZE (MEN GỐM)


146
Properties of glaze
Thermal expansion (giãn nở nhiệt)
 On cooling the fired ware, the whole coated substrate
contracts.
 If the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of coating
and substrate (body) are not close enough, stresses and
strains lead to spalling or crazing. The thermal expansions
should be close, but not identical.
 Ceramic coatings are much stronger in compression than
in tension. Therefore, the coating is intentionally put in
compression by putting it on a substrate that has a
somewhat higher coefficient of expansion. During cooling,
the coating shrinks less and is put in compression.

“It is especially true in the ceramics world that one person’s fault is another
person’s fancy–especially when it comes to glaze defects. Many ceramic artists
deliberately create faults in their glaze surfaces to achieve a particular aesthetic.”

Porcelain enamels (men tráng kim loại)
 Porcelain enamels on metal are similar to glazes in
that they are basically a silicate glass coating.
 They are normally fired for shorter periods and at
lower temperatures, and a wide range of defects is
common.
 A ground coat containing nickel or cobalt oxide or a
nickel dip (of the metal in a nickel sulfate solution) is
frequently used to improve adherence (to cause
galvanic corrosion of the base metal; certain grains
corrode more rapidly than others, providing a rough
interface and improved adherence).

159
Porcelain enamels (men tráng kim loại)
 An enamel coating is commonly made of a bilayer.
 Recently, single-layer enameling has become more
popular, because of the decreased number of
applications and firings required during fabrication.
Therefore, single-layer enamels must be defect-free in
order to provide chemical durability and adhesion
strength at the same time.

Conventional pigments (absorption pigments)
Three methods to obtain color in a vitreous matrix:
1. Certain transition metal ions can be added directly
to the coating formulation (become part of the
glassy coating).
2. Induce the precipitation of a crystal (widely used for
opacification / white color).
3. Disperse in that matrix an insoluble crystal or
crystals that are colored (most commonly used due
to the greater stability).

Bioceramics
 Biomaterials are employed in components
implanted into the human body to replace diseased

 These materials must not produce toxic
substances and must be compatible with body
tissues (i.e., must not cause adverse biological
reactions).
 All of materials — metals, ceramics, polymers,
composites, and semiconductors — may be used as
biomaterials.

2.9. INTRODUCTION SOME ADVANCED CERAMICS


Space Shuttle Ceramic Tiles
• Silica-based insulation material
and similar materials were used
to manufacture heat-resistant
tiles and other coverings to
protect the Orbiter's airframe.

• After the Orbiter has landed and


been taken indoors for inspection,
any damaged tiles are removed and
replaced for the next flight.

Ceramics for automobile engines
 Advantages: • Disadvantages:
 Operate at high – Ceramic materials are
temperatures – high brittle
efficiencies – Difficult to remove
 Low frictional losses internal voids (that
 Operate without a cooling weaken structures)
system – Ceramic parts are
 Lower weights than difficult to form and
current engines machine

• Potential candidate materials: Si3N4, SiC, & ZrO2


• Possible engine parts: engine block & piston coatings
