FFC Seramik Sağlık Gereçlerinin Yarı Mamül ve Pişmiş Mamul Mukavemetlerini Arttırarak Ultra İnce FFC Lavaboların Üretimi
Abstract
Large-sized products are casted by using FFC (fine
fire clay) in ceramic sanitarywares production. Along with developing in
the technology, high-pressure casting systems are increasingly common
in forming processes. Depending on increasing in high-pressure systems,
there is an increase in the use of FFC. One of the main raw materials
in FFC production is fireclay. In Turkish ceramic sanitaryware
production, fireclay is used in ratio of 30 % wt. in receipts. However,
fireclay is mostly imported from foreign country. Fireclay is composed
of 50 % mullite, 5 % cristobalite, 5 % corundum and 40 % amorphous
phase. As fireclay is a semi-finished and fired raw material, it
provides strength for FFC bodies. The aim of this study is to develop
materials, which provide more strength and lower cost for ceramic
sanitarywares production and will be produced in Turkey, instead of
fireclay. Thus, there will be able to provide increase in
competitiveness with foreign manufacturers. Also, it is considered that
this material will bring a significant amount of incomes with producing
and exporting of this material. Now, lack of such a raw material in
international market is important too.
