Q

What are advanced ceramics disadvantages?

A

Ceramic materials are brittle, difficult to remove internal voids (that weaken structures), ceramic parts are difficult to form and machine.

Q

What is Blowing of Glass Bottles?

A

Gobs of heated glass from the furnace are directed to a molding machine and into the cavities where air is forced in to produce the neck and general container shape.

17
Q

What is Pressing?

A

Glass formed by application of pressure - mold is steel with graphite lining.

18
Q

What is Fiber drawing?

A

Thermal fiber drawing is a process in which a comparatively thicker structure is heated and drawn into extended lengths of microstructure fiber.

19
Q

What are some characteristics of glass?

A

Do not crystallize, change in slope is spec. vol. curve at glass transition temperature, transparent - no grain boundaries to scatter light.

20
Q

What is viscosity?

A

Relates shear stress and velocity gradient.

21
Q

Effects of Annealing on glass?

A

Removes internal stresses caused by uneven cooling.

22
Q

Effects of Tempering on glass?

A

Puts surface of glass part into compression, suppresses growth of cracks from surface scratches.

23
Q

What is hydro-plastic forming?

A

The most common hydro-plastic forming technique is extrusion, in which a stiff plastic ceramic mass is forced through a die orifice having the desired cross sectional geometry; it is similar to the extrusion of metals

24
Q

What is typical Porcelain composition?

A

50 % Clay, 25 % Filler (quartz finely grounded), Fluxing agent (Feldspar)

25
Q

What is Drying?

A

As water is removed - interparticle spacings decrease - shrinkage?

26
Q

What is firing?

A

Heat treatment between 900-1400 degrees Celsius.

27
Q

What is vitrification?

A

Liquid glass forms from clay and flux - flows between SiO_2 particles.

28
Q

What is the power pressing

A
29
Q

What is Sintering?

A

Occurs during firing of a piece that has been powder pressed, power particles coalesce and reduction of pore size.

30
Q

What is Tape Casting?

A

Thin sheets of green ceramic cast as flexible tape. Used for integrated circuits and capacitors.

31
Q

What is Porosity?

A

Porosity is the percentage of void space in a rock. It is defined as the ratio of the volume of the voids or pore space divided by the total volume.

32
Q

Abrasive ceramics include what?

A

Diamond, Aluminum Oxide, Silica Sand, Tungsten Carbide, and Silicon Carbide,
