The energy intensive firing and sintering processes traditionally required to produce lightweight aggregates can now be augmented by a cold-bonding, low energy method that contributes to the reduction of green house gases to the atmosphere.
The defect free green compacts were sintered in inert gas fired sintering furnace for different sintering schedules.
The homogeneity, rheology and printability of those dispersions are subsequently investigated, along with firing and sintering trials.
The effect of filler grain size, quartz content in the filler and firing conditions (sintering temperature, firing time) on the physical and mechanical properties of a sanitary-ware porcelain has been studied in the narrow range of values used by industrial practice.
The sintering parameters including sintering temperature, sintering time, sintering atmosphere and sintering position were discussed.
To get different Al doping concentrations, silicon samples were screen printed with aluminum paste on two sides firstly, then were fired in sintering furnace and were treated with hydrochloric acid to remove Al paste and alloy layers, and lastly were etched by KOH (10% in mass concentration, 80°C) at different times.
The thermal stability of Al2O3 films on the P+ layers were investigated by annealing at 450°C and firing with the same temperature curve as sintering Ag/Al contact during silicon solar cell process, in which the peak temperature was 800°C.
Influence of sintering conditions of High Temperature Co-fired Ceramics on surface roughness, density and shrinkage of the sintered samples is presented in this paper.
On the other hand, sintering aid is required for low temperature co-firing process.
Sintering is one of the oldest human technologies, originating in the pre-historic era with the firing of pottery.
