Update
Where is drying done and what features are controlled in this location? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Drying Chamber where temperature and humidity are
controlled.
What happens if water is removed too quickly? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔It will be
more prone to cracking
Ranges of drying time - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔15 minutes for thin pieces to several
days for thicker
,What is a piece considered after shaping but before firing - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔Green- meaning not fully processed or treated, lacks hardness and
strength
Firing - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The heat treatment process that sinters the ceramic
material, it is performed in a kiln
What happens during sintering - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔bonds are developed
between the ceramic grains. This is accompanied by densification and
reduction of porosity.
Where does shrinkage occur - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Shrinkage occurs in the
polycrystalline material. This is addition to the shrinkage from drying.
What does the chemical reactions that take place during firing depend on -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Chemical composition of the ceramic material and the firing
temperature used
What happens during the chemical reactions during firing? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔A glassy phase forms to act as a binder
How many times are unglazed and glazed products fired - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔unglazed: once
, Glazed: Twice
Glazing - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The application of a ceramic surface coating to
make the piece more impervious to water and enhance the appearance.
What is the processing sequence for glazed ware - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1) Fire
the ware once before glazing to harden the body of the piece
2) apply the glaze
3) Fire the piece a second time to harden the glaze
Joining - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔refers to welding, brazing, soldering and adhesive
bonding, which forms a permanent join between 2 or more parts- a joint
that cannot easily be separated
Assembly - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Refers to mechanical methods of fastening
parts together some of which allow for disassembly while others do not
Welding - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a materials joining process in which 2 or more
parts are coalesced at their contacting surfaces by a suitable application of
heat and or pressure
What variations of heat and pressure are possible - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Heat no
pressure
