The measurement techniques investigated include mass volume measurement mercury pycnometry powderdisplacement pycnometry and noncontact ultrasonic method. The measurement of bulk density of for example green ceramic tiles during production is a fundamental parameter for the quality of the product. Tomography density evaluation techniques mechanical densifcation green bodies 1. This can also be used to measure bulk density of green clay body chips which would with other techniques break down under water or xylene. The green body density feld of a truncated cylinder made of alumina powder is evaluated using this method and the reconstructed feld is presented. The ultrasonic direct transmission density measurement.
The analysis took advantage of the symmetry of the green body along the diameter thereby yielding two mirror images of the sample. Introduction the ceramics industry is interested in increasing ef. The bulk density of a green ceramic body provides. The measurement of bulk density of for example green ceramic tiles during production is a fundamental parameter for the quality of the product. The porosity of freshly pressed ceramic bodies governs green tile behavior during the process drying glazing and firing and largely determine the properties of the final product. Fields et al 2001 2002.
The work presents an innovative method for non intrusive measurement of the apparent density of green ceramic tiles during the production stage. Abstract green body density measurement techniques were investigated and compared. Density or grain density iso 8840 and sans 5904. The green body was formed under a mean axial stress of 120 mpa which is slightly more than the supplier recommended 100 mpa forming pressure to attain a green density of 24 g cm 3. Crossing and cross correlation techniques fig. Correspond to the original solution.
Powder sintering involves raising the temperature of the green compact pressed powder part to a certain level and keeping it at that temperature for a certain amount of time. This will cause bonding mechanisms to occur between powder particles pressed together in the compact. The bulk density of a green ceramic body provides valuable information needed to control the quality of a ceramic piece after firing with respect to its final size and the porosity and cracks in the body and is proportional to the final mechanical. The sintering temperature is usually between 70 and 90 of the melting point of the powder metal. Essentially the same differences have been confirmed by hydrostatic weighing body density as measured by whole body immersion in water skin fold thickness anthropometry dual energy x ray absorptiometry electrical impedance proton magnetic resonance spectrometry tbw measurement by isotope dilution and air displacement plethysmography buffa et al 2001. This method uses non contact ultrasonic probes.
