Course detail
Ceramics - Laboratories
FAST-BJ002Acad. year: 2019/2020
The students will be acquainted in the first six practical tutorials with basic laboratory tests, which are typical for properties determination especially of plastic ceramic raw materials (clays). In the same time they will prepare more samples, which will be in following laboratory tests fired at different temperatures. The students will visit as a part of these laboratory tutorials some selected ceramic plants in an educational trip. Afterwards follow three practical training tutorials, in which will be tested the properties of fired ceramic body in dependence on different firing temperatures.
