Peculiarities of Phase Formation in Artificial Ceramic Binders for White-Ware Compositions

The production of sanitary white wares traditionally uses multi-component mixes, which is necessitated by a whole complex of properties: high density and low humidity of molding slurries with low thixotropic strengthening and good filterability of the slurry. However, modern understanding of the structure and properties of materials open opportunities for optimization of technological process and production of higher-quality articles. The implementation of activation technologies and replacement of traditional molding slurries by artificial ceramic binders will reduce the number of components in mixes and optimize the production of white wares. Since the achievement of working performance of ceramic materials substantially depends on the phase formation processes in a material during sintering. Current work analyses the phase transformations occurring at all stages of white ware production as per proposed technology.
