Tensile Strength Of Prereacted Porcelain Compositions, Chester Lee Hill Jan 1966

Tensile Strength Of Prereacted Porcelain Compositions, Chester Lee Hill

Masters Theses

"The tensile strengths of two porcelain compositions containing prereacted silica and feldspar have been determined with the diametral loading technique. A comparison was made between the strength of the prereacted samples and the strength of samples of the same compositions, but prepared in the conventional manner. At the optimum firing temperature, no significant differences in tensile strengths were observed between the prereacted and control samples for the two compositions studied. At temperatures below and above the optimum firing temperature, the prereacted samples had the higher tensile strengths. The tensile strengths are correlated with the average size of the quartz particles …
