MULLAINATHAN *Department of Physics, Arasu Engineering College, Kumbakonam, Tamilnadu (India). Department of Physics, A.V.C. College of Engineering, Mayiladuthurai, Tamilnadu (India). (Received: October 20, 2011; Accepted: December 07, 2011) ABSTRACT Human activities are always connected with the uses of ceramic materials or ceramic product in every day life. Ceramic materials are typically produced by the application heat upon processed clay and other natural raw materials to form a rigid body. In the present investigation, the mixture of ball Clay, quartz and feldspar are made standard bodies sintered at C and the Ceramic bodies are studied some important properties like, Bulk density, Compressive strength, Porosity, Appearance, Colour and the microstructure analysis of Ceramic bodies using SEM technique. Key words: Ball clay, Quartz, Feldspar, Ceramic bodies, Firing Temperature, SEM, and microstructure. INTRODUCTION Clay was one of the earliest materials used to produce ceramics. Two types of clay are generally used which are often termed an china clay and ball clay. Both are Kaolinitic in nature; contain quartz as major impurities mineral along with iron oxide and titania as minor impurities. Ball clays are finer than china clay and often refered to as plastic clay as they provide greater plasticity in a ceramic body 1. Ceramic bodies are normally composed two groups of materials: Plastic and non- plastic material. The plastic material is predominantly based on clays and sometimes kaolin, which are essential to the development of plasticity as well as to reach satisfactory green and dry mechanical strength 2&3. In addition, the plastic material must present favorable rheological properties for an efficient wet milling stage 3&4. Among the non-plastic raw materials, feldspars, talc and quartz are most used. All of them decrease the plasticity, facilitate the defloculation, enhance the packing and increase the permeability of the pieces 4 & 6. The correct mixture of these (plastic and non-plastic) materials makes the ceramic products able to present the desired technological properties and allows them to be easily processed with the lowest possible cost 2&3. During the firing stage, the feldspars act as a flux supplying alkaline oxide (K 2 O + Na 2 O) and also during the sintering stage, the quartz has the function of balancing the ratio between SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 in other to favor the formation of mullite 5. It increases the refractoriness and also increases the expansion coefficient of the body and so decreasing the linear shrinkage 4&6. Quartz, with small particle size in the range of 10-30µm, improves the mechanical strength. By contrast, larger sized quartz particles tend to decrease the mechanical strength due to susceptibility to micro-crack formation.

2 322 VIJAYARAGAVAN & MULLAINATHAN, Mat. Sci. Res. India, Vol. 8(2), (2011) Since the microstructure and properties of any ceramic depends on the characteristics of the raw material and processing parameter 7&8, to assure the quality of ceramic products, a complete characterization of the precursor clays as a function of the firing temperature is needed. EXPERIMENTAL The raw materials used in this research work are ball clay (50%), Feldspar (25%) and quartz (25%). These mixtures of test specimens (S 1, S 2, S 3, & S 4 ) were prepared by the pressing technique in a (8.0 X 4.5 X 2.5) cm 3 rectangular die. After forming, the specimens were dried in open atmosphere (3 days) and then in an oven dried for 24 hours at 110 C. Then dried samples were fired at 900, 950, 1000 and 1050 C respectively for 2 hours in a muffle furnace. The important parameters of sintered Ceramic bodies, viz, density, compressive strength, porosity, appearance and colour are determined and the microstructure analysis of Ceramic bodies using SEM (Qunta FEG 200) technique. The bulk density was evaluated by dividing accurately measured mass of sintered samples by external volume (dimensional method 9 ). The Compressive strength was tested using Compressive testing machine. The rate of pressure applied to brick break and break point was measured for compressive strength. The Compressive strength was calculated using the following formula 10 &11. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION At least four samples were used for each test and for all categories. The average results are presented and discussed in this section. In the present study, ceramic bodies are analyzed some important properties and microstructure using Scanning electron microscope technique. Density of Ceramic bodies The density affects a number of the properties of the ceramic materials but probably the most important effect is on its strength 11. The measurements of bulk density for mixture of Clay, feldspar and quartz compositions fired at four temperatures 900, 950, 1000, 1050 ºC are demonstrated in figure 1. As shown in figure 1, the bulk density of Ceramic bodies is directly proportional to the firing temperature. This finding closely related to the quantity of water absorbed. Fig. 1: Effect of firing temperature on Density of the samples The percentage of Porosity was calculated using the relation 11. Where by W 1 is Weight of the specimen in immersing water. W 2 and W 3 are Weight of the specimen in air and Weight of the specimen in dried for about six hours to remove the water contents completely. Fig. 2: Effect of firing temperature on Compressive strength and porosity of the samples

3 VIJAYARAGAVAN & MULLAINATHAN, Mat. Sci. Res. India, Vol. 8(2), (2011) 323 When bodies absorb more water, it exhibits a large pore size, resulting is a lighter density 10 &12. The firing temperature can also affect the bulk density of the materials 12. The results show that increasing the temperature results in an increase in bulk density. Compressive strength of Ceramic bodies Compressive strength test is very important in view of mechanical behaviour measurement technique for ceramic production 13 and the compressing test is the most important test for assuring the engineering quality of ceramic/ building materials 10 & 12. The results of the Compressive strength test on the ceramic bodies made from Clay, feldspar and quartz mixtures. The results indicate that the strength is greatly dependent on the firing temperature. The Compressive strength results are shown in figure 2. The results indicated that the firing temperature at which maximum Compressive strength occurred was 1050 C. (a) 900 C (S 1 ) (b) 950 C (S 2 ) (c) 1000 C (S 3 ) (d) 1050 C (S 3 ) Fig. 3: SEM micrographs of the sintered Ceramic bodies

4 324 VIJAYARAGAVAN & MULLAINATHAN, Mat. Sci. Res. India, Vol. 8(2), (2011) Porosity of Ceramic bodies Porosity is the dominant factor affecting the performance of ceramic material 14. Water absorption is common method of determining the porosity of ceramic bodies. Porosity affects the strength of the materials. Porous bodies are mechanically weak. Lower porosity gives greater strength The measurement of the porosity is used to identify the quality of Ceramic material. In the present investigation, the percentage of porosity value of Ceramic bodies generally lies in the range between 32.20% and % (Fig. 2). The higher porosity value is indicating that presence of large void space. From the results, sample S 4 (Firing Temperature 1050 C) having the low porosity has produced high mechanical strength. Appearance and Colour of ceramic bodies Drying is the most important stage of the ceramic manufacturing process. Small cracks may develop during drying, causing a failure during firing 17. The firing colour is an also important criterion for the classification of a clay bearing material. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of the ceramic raw materials affect the firing colour to a certain extent 18. In the present study, after drying the samples, no defects were observed. Cracks, bloating and other noticeable defects were not observed after firing. The colour of ceramic bodies was changed from whitish (before firing) to reddish (after firing). After firing, all the samples presented the characteristic homogenous ceramic colour, indicating the uniformity of firing. Appearance and colours of ceramic bodies were acceptable. Microstructure analysis of Ceramic bodies Figure 3 show the microstructure of the Ceramic bodies sintered at various temperatures. SEM micrographs, taken at increasing firing temperature show the typical sequence of enhanced densification with increasing temperature, characteristics of all studied formulations in this work. As can be observed, the higher porosity connected with dense zones is clearly visible at 900 C (figure 3. a) and 950 C (figure 3. b). At 1000 C (figure 3.c), the porosity starts to reduce. At 1050 C (figure 3.d), the Ceramic bodies presented advances sintering stage, in which appearance of nearly spherical isolated pores can be observed. In this state, the open porosity has been reduced. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the present studies, following conclusions can be drawn: In order to yield a good quality Ceramic product, the mixture of compositions and firing temperature are important key factor. The bulk density of ceramic bricks is directly proportional to the firing temperature. Compressive strength increases almost linearly with the firing temperature. The percentage of porosity is inversely proportional to firing temperature. Increase the firing temperature results in decrease in the percentage of Porosity. Appearance of ceramic bodies is good (no defect) and colours of ceramic bodies were acceptable in all samples. The microstructure is characterized by a high porosity resulting from the sample S 1, sintered at 900 C. It is concluded from the work that the composition to produce a good quality of Ceramic bodies was dependent on the maximum firing temperature (1050 C). REFERENCES 1.
