The manufacturing process requires the formulation of a photoreactive medium containing a photocurable resin and powders ceramic fillers prior to uv exposure.
Batching is the initial step in the tile manufacturing process.
Since the ceramics industry is so large and covers a wide range of products from traditional ceramics such as pottery and chinaware to a more complicated technical ceramics for chemical mechanical or thermal applications i am going to provide you with a brief overview of the manufacturing process of traditional ceramics.
Because ceramics employ many different types of manufacturing processes we want to help you understand them the following is a basic outline.
During batching the raw materials are included in a formulated percentage known as composition or in other the composition decides the amount of raw material to be taken to the manufacturing process.
It will give you a good idea of what it takes to manufacture ceramic parts.
Once polymerized the photopolymer constitutes a composite of interconnected polymer matrix around ceramic particles and provides the cohesion of the green body upon exposure of the uv.
We will discuss all the production process methods used in the ceramic industry.
