Structural Transformations During Heat-Treatment of Quartz Ceramic

  • Published:
Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The microhardness of quartz ceramic was measured at three stages of heat-treatment of the primary green part obtained by slip casting—after drying at 100°C, after sintering at 1190°C and after flame treatment of the surface. Although the final hardness is close to the known values for quartz glass, IR spectroscopy indicates the presence of significant internal stresses in the material. The high content of the end atomic groupings found in the primary material is a favorable factor for doping kersil.
