Refractories Applications-Technical Ceramics
Process Information : Sintering
Technical
ceramics are fired in intermittent, pusher hearth and tunnel furnaces.
Mainly based upon oxides, the materials need support during the firing
process because of their low strength at median temperatures
Process temperatures 1400°c to 1750°c
Endothermic and Exothermic Atmospheres
Delta T to 150°c per hour
Product Requirements and Characteristics
Vulcan produces a range of plain tiles, saggars and profiled setters for use as a support during the firing process
High
hot strength to minimise creep
Thermal shock resistance
Chemical purity to prevent contamination / reaction
Minimum bow tolerance to avoid the use of seting powders
