Abstract:A comparative analysis between two methods of drying ceramics (microwave and conventional) was done based on the results of the Bigot curves of an electro-porcelain paste used as an insulator element in high-voltage circuits. The study was conducted on ceramic bars molded at 300, 600, and 900 kPa and, as expected, it was found that the higher the pressure, the lower the shrinkage and the smoother moisture profiles.The microwave technique proved to be a much more efficient method of drying ceramics because the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
