CERAMIC INDUSTRY Flashcards
ONE OF THE MAIN TYPE OF MATERIALS USED IN THE
DIFFERENT FIELDS OF ENGINEERING ALONGSIDE METAL POLYMER AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS.
CERAMICS
A COMPOUND THAT PRIMARILY CONSIST OF METALLIC AND NONMETALLIC ELEMENTS.
CERAMICS
SOMETIMES ALSO CALLED THE CLAY PRODUCTS
OR SILICATE INDUSTRIES.
CERAMIC INDUSTRIES
ALWAYS HAVE SILICATES AS THEIR FINISHED
MATERIAL IN A VARIETY OF PRODUCTIONS.
CERAMIC INDUSTRY
THE OLDEST KNOWN CERAMIC ARTIFACT IS
DATED AS EARLY AS 28,000 BC, DURING THE
LATE PALEOLITHIC PERIOD (CAVEMAN)
OLDEST KNOWN CERAMIC ARTIFACT

HUNDREDS OF CLAY FIGURINES
REPRESENTING________ WERE
ALSO UNCOVERED NEAR THE REMAINS OF A
HORSESHOE-SHAPED KILN.
ICE AGE ANIMALS
DATING BACK TO
15,000 B.C. WHAT WERE ALSO FOUND AND
RECORDED.
BURNT CLAYWARES
-WHO BECAME
ENGAGED IN THE ART OF CERAMICS 10
CENTURIES LATER (5000 B.C.)
CHINESE AND THE EGYPTIANS
ART OF CERAMICS BECAME A HOBBY FOR
AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN
MUSEUMS NOWADAYS CONTAIN
CERAMIC MATERIALS, AS A
RECORD OF MAN’S CULTURE,
MANY SIGNIFICANT NEW
DEVELOPMENTS HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN

THREE MAIN RAW MATERIALS FOR CERAMIC
INDUSTRY:
CLAY
FELDSPAR (SPAR)
SAND (FLINT)
IMPURE HYDRATED ALUMINUM
SILICATES THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THE
WEATHERING OF IGNEOUS ROCKS
CLAY
ARE PRODUCED THROUGH THE
HYDROLYSIS OF WEATHERING REACTIONS
OF IGNEOUS ROCKS
CLAY
CLAY VARIES DEPENDING ON THE
CONTENT OF THE CLAY MINERAL.
TRUE
THE DIFFERENT CLAY MINERALS
KAOLINITE 122 WHITE
BEIDELLITE 131 YELLOWISH
MONTMORILLONITE 141 PINKISH
HALLOYSITE 123 BLUISH
ARE PLASTIC AND MOLDABLE WHEN SUFFICIENTLY FINELY PULVERIZED.
CLAY
WHEN CLAY IS BEING AIR-DRIED.
WET, RIGID
CLAY WHEN FIRED AT A SUITABLY HIGH TEMPERATURE.
VITREOUS
SAME CLAY BODIES “MATURE” AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES
FALSE
A TERM USED TO IDENTIFY THAT AT A SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE, CLAY CAN BE
FORMULATED TO PRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS.
MATURE
THE HIGHER A
CLAY BODY IS DESIGNED TO FIRE, THE MORE VITREOUS IT IS.
TRUE
A VITREOUS CLAY IS MORE RESISTANT TO WATER ABSORPTION, WHICH IN TURN
CAN PREVENT DEFECTS AND CRACKING FROM HAPPENING.
TRUE
IS A PROPERTY OF CLAY THAT ALLOWS IT TO CHANGE ITS SHAPE WITHOUT
RUPTURING EVEN AFTER PUTTING A GREATER AMOUNT OF FORCE .
PLASTICITY
THE MOST BASIC CLAY MINERAL USED IN THE
CERAMIC INDUSTRY
KAOLINITE
IT IS THE MOST
ABUNNDANT CLAY MINERAL OF ALL DIFFERENT TYPES
(WIDELY USED IN POTTERY AS WELL).
KAOLINITE
ARE BASED ON
MONTMORILLONITE CLAYS, THEY ARE USED TO SOME
EXTENT WHERE VERY HIGH PLASTICITY IS DESIRED.
BENTONITE CLAYS
CLAYS DONT VARY AND HAVE A LOT OF IMPURITIES PRESENT.
FALSE
WAY FOR US TO INCREASE THE CONTENT OF CLAY MINERALS IN
CLAYS
BENEFICIATION
INCREASE CONTENT OF CLAY MINERALS WHILE DECREASING THE CONTENT OF QUARTZ
BENEFICIATION
ALSO HELPS TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED
PARTICULAR SIZE AND SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF RAW MATERIALS.
BENEFICITION
MAJORITY OF THE PROCESS OF BENEFICIATION OF CLAY CONSISTS OF
UNIT OPERATIONS
TRUE
SIZE SEPARATION IS DONE BY
SCREENING OR SELECTIVE SETTLING FILTRATION OR DRYING
ARE ADDED AS THE APPROPRIATE
ADDITIONAL AGENTS USED TO CONTROL THE COLLOIDAL PROPERTIES OF
CLAY.
SODIUM SILICATE AND ALUMINUM
A GROUP OF ALUMINOSILICATE MINERALS
THAT ALSO CONTAINS CALCIUM, SODIUM
AND POTASSIUM.
FELDSPAR
MAKES UP MORE THAN HALF OF THE EARTH’S
CRUST.
FELDSPAR
MOST COMMON MINERAL IN THE EARTH’S
CRUST.
FELDSPAR
THE 3 COMMON TYPES OF FELDSPAR USED IN THE
CERAMIC INDUSTRY.
POTASH
SODA
LIME OR ANORTHITE
MOST COMMON TYPE OF FELSPAR
POTASH
IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE AS A FLUXING CONSTITUENT IN CERAMIC
FORMULAS
FELDSPAR
THE PRESENCE OF FLUXES TENDS TO LOWER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FORMATION
OF MULLITE AND INCREASES THE ATTAINMENT OF THE
EQUILIBRIUM CONDITIONS DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

AND UNDERGOES METAMORPHISM)
mullite

PROMOTES VITRIFICATION/ INCREASES THE
VITREOUS PROPERTY OF CLAY.
fluxing agent
PROMOTES VITRIFICATION/ INCREASES THE
VITREOUS PROPERTY OF CLAY.
fluxing agent
AS it MELTS AT LOWER TEMPERATURES, IT FORMS A GLASSY PHASE
CONDITION WHICH BONDS THE CERAMIC BODY AND FORMS THE BASIS OF THE CERAMIC
MATERIAL.
GLAZE
A TYPE OF MINERAL THAT NATURALLY CONSIST OF SILICA/ QUARTZ OR SIO2.
