Shatalin The ultrasonic method of treating hard and brittle materials finds wide applicatien in ceramic in- dustry in view of the fact that it helps to obtain holes of complex profile in dielectric materials of any hardness [1]. The method is based on shearing of material of a ware by harder abrasive particles, to which a mechanical impulse is given by the end face of the instrument vibrating with ultrasonic frequency. The performance of ultrasonic method of treatment is primarily determined by the effective replacement of abrasive particles under the end face of the instrument [2]. The application of abrasive suspensions is also accompanied with the following defects of the method: comparatively small area, depth, and rate of treatment, large power capacity, considerable wear of the instrument, etc. In producing ceramic wares the method of shaping thermoplastic masses containing 10-17% plas- ticizers like paraffin is widely used. If it is presumed that the mechanicaI processing of unfired green wares, shaped from such masses, can be effected with the help of ultrasonics without using abrasive suspensions, then the sequence of TI - Ultrasonic treatment of ceramics without abrasive suspensions JF - Glass and Ceramics DO - 10.1007/BF00701736 DA - 2004-11-11 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/ultrasonic-treatment-of-ceramics-without-abrasive-suspensions-Bq7KBb4WoD SP - 120 EP - 121 VL - 33 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
