Effect of Calcite Content on Firing Characteristics and its Sintering Properties of Nixing Pottery

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the characteristics that purple red of nixing pottery contains an amount of calcite; different samples were fired with different content of calcite in the mud and varying temperature under oxidizing conditions. The phase composition and microstructure were analyzed. The results show that number and size of pores in the sintered samples increased and pore morphology changed from irregular closed hole to round closed then converted to irregular inter-connected one along with the increase of calcite content. As calcite content in the mud increases the viscosity of liquid phase decreases while the crystalline phase gradually increased as sintering, thus wollastonite phase transformed into eutectic phase of aluminum scapolite and wollastonite, and quartz content gradually reduced. Higher sintering temperatures and content of calcite were helpful to the reduction in viscosity, as calcite content increased gradually, the amount of liquid phase increased at first then decreased.
