Abstract. The purpose of the study is to create a macromodel of interfacial transition layer in ceramic matrix composites. Chemical and mineralogical compositions were investigated by means of X-ray fluorescence analysis and X-ray diffractometry, ceramic and technological properties of raw materials were defined using standard test methods for argillaceous raw materials. Phase composition and structure of ceramic specimens were studied using a complex of modern physico-chemical analysis methods. The layer-by-layer model of shell-core transition in ceramic matrix material was suggested. Boundary conditions for obtaining specimens were defined in terms of number of layers, thickness of such layers and pitch of core-to-shell material ratio. Forced air supply was organized while burning for directed heat and mass transfer inside the specimens. Mineral composition of layers was defined for ceramic specimens with the core of iron ore waste and the shell of clay. The study enabled to determine dependences between qualitative and semiquantitative variation of new mineral formations content in transitional layers of a composite, which is the evidence of interaction between the core and the shell products while burning a ceramic matrix material.
The researches’ results show that it is possible to obtain a ceramic crock, which water absorption meets the requirements of facade ceramic tiles at a charge firing temperature of 1150 ° C, consisting of 60% low-melting and 40% refractory clay raw materials from deposits in the Novosibirsk Region. Additives influence nature of directed action was studied: wollastonite and cullet by the mathematical planning method of the experiment. It was found that the introduction of additives helps to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the ceramic crock. The introduction of 10% cullet allows increasing the tensile strength by 10.3% compression and reducing water 27.1% absorption. The amount of 15% wollastonite contributes to a greater increase in mechanical strength and a decrease in water absorption, compared with the control composition. The joint introduction of mineral additives leads to a decrease in tensile strength A method for producing high-quality facade and building ceramics from low-grade, poor in clay minerals raw materials with carbonate inclusions, which consists in mechanically activating these raw materials and purposefully creating a hierarchical structure of semi-dry pressed products, is proposed in the research work. The developed technology of preparing a press-mass that is uniform in humidity and dispersion by rolling mechanically activated powders based on aggregate grains (micro level), firmly coated with clay mineral nanoparticles, to the state of spherical granules (macro level). This approach to mass preparation significantly improves the subsequent stages course of pressing and firing products. Its effect is the possibility of obtaining various types of building and facade ceramics with high performance characteristics.
