Firing Behavior Tests And Other Tests On A Missouri Stoneware Clay To Determine Its Commercial Possibilities, Ivan Martin Niedling
Firing Behavior Tests And Other Tests On A Missouri Stoneware Clay To Determine Its Commercial Possibilities, Ivan Martin Niedling
Bachelors Theses
"A clay's essential character is its plasticity, whether it is to be used for common brick purposes, the manufacture of refractory articles, or merely as a bonding agent for nonplastic materials. Plasticity is a very large subject; there are many theories as to its cause and many methods have been developed to record it, but so far no satisfactory quantitative measure of plasticity has been found. Perhaps the most satisfactory method is to judge by handling the clay, and with constant practice one can become expert in judging the plasticity of a clay by its feel. Such a method is, …
The Production Of High Alumina Refractories Bonded With Lumnite Refractory Cement, Joseph Lewis Hoffman
The Production Of High Alumina Refractories Bonded With Lumnite Refractory Cement, Joseph Lewis Hoffman
Bachelors Theses
"Users of refractories are constantly demanding a better product. There is a demand for a satisfactory neutral or basic refractory with a P.C.E. equivalent of cone 35 or better. A refractory with a very high alumina content would seem to solve this problem, however, the main difficulty has been to bond the unplastic alumina. From the literature it was learned that Lumnite cement has been satisfactory in the manufacture of a refractory concrete. Therefore this investigation was carried out to determine the adaptability of bonding corundum with Lumnite"--Introduction, page 1.
The Effect Of Clays On The Properties Of Masonry Cement, William Joseph Smothers
The Effect Of Clays On The Properties Of Masonry Cement, William Joseph Smothers
Bachelors Theses
"Portland cement is not a material of great antiquity. It was discovered only a little over a century ago and quite by accident. It has been the custom in the manufacture of hydraulic limes to heat argillaceous limestones to temperatures not greatly above that at which the carbon dioxide would be liberated, but this process was carried out in a stack furnace under conditions such that some parts of the material were heated to temperatures which produced sintering. These hard lumps of sintered material were discarded because they were so much more difficult to grind than the unsintered However, in …
A Study Of Opacity Produced By Insoluble Refractory Opacifiers, Theodore J. Planje
A Study Of Opacity Produced By Insoluble Refractory Opacifiers, Theodore J. Planje
Bachelors Theses
"To investigate opacification produced by insoluble, refractory opacifiers in an effort to obtain some knowledge and reliable data concerning the electrical charge on the particles - its quality and quantity, and the effect of heavy metallic ions upon the flocculation and deflocculation of the opacifying particles"--Object, page 1.
The Bloating Of Clays, Everett Walter Sharp
The Bloating Of Clays, Everett Walter Sharp
Bachelors Theses
"The effect of firing on clays in relation to volume is either a shrinkage, bloating, or no change whatso-ever. The reason for the shrinkage and the constant volume is well known, but the cause of the bloating has not as yet been determined. In some instances, as the use of fire clay brick in steel ladles, this property of bloating is desirable to a certain extent because this packs the brick lining in the ladle tightly after the first heat is poured in, and prevents the brick lining from floating out when the metal is poured. There is little or …
Red Glazes, Sidney Austin Peer
Red Glazes, Sidney Austin Peer
Bachelors Theses
"Red glazes are extremely difficult to produce on pottery except at relatively low temperatures, or under conditions which can only be regarded as largely accidental. For many years ceramists have demanded a red glaze maturing at cone 4. To produce this glaze, much time and research is required...The object of this study was to produce a commercial red glaze at cone 4 from different oxides in a base glaze of white lead and silica"--Scope of Investigation, pages 1, 7.
