This work reports on the processing of red ceramic for civil construction using fast-firing cycles. The firing cycle is an important variable in the processing of red ceramic materials, which contributes to a high consumption of energy. The red ceramic pieces were prepared by industrial extrusion and fired at firing temperatures varying from 700 ºC to 1100 ºC using different firing cycles (slow-firing cycle -1º C/min and fast-firing cycle -10 ºC/min and 20 °C/min). The technological properties (linear shrinkage, water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent density, and flexural strength) as function of the firing temperature and firing cycle are investigated. The development of the microstructure was followed by SEM/SEI. The results showed that fast-firing red ceramics exhibits technological properties and microstructure comparable to conventionally fired red ceramics, resulting in great advantages in energy saving. Keywords: red ceramic, fast-firing, firing cycle, processing, properties. Resumo Este trabalho descreve o processamento de cerâmica vermelha para construção civil usando ciclos de queima rápido.

ResumoO dióxido de titânio apresenta boas propriedades como um material fotocatalisador para aplicação em processos de degradação fotocatalítica. No entanto, o dióxido de titânio deve ser usado ancorado num suporte adequado. O uso de cerâmica vermelha como suporte de fotocatalisadores pode ser uma boa alternativa devido ao seu baixo custo e facilidade de fabricação. Neste trabalho foi estudado, via difração de raios X, o dióxido de titânio suportado em cerâmica vermelha produzida com argilas cauliníticas da região de Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ. Os resultados mostram que o dióxido de titânio apresenta mudança estrutural da fase mais fotoativa (anatásio) para a fase menos fotoativa (rutilo) com o aumento da temperatura de sinterização. Em 700 ºC cerca de 50% da fase anatásio é retida para o dióxido de titânio suportado em cerâmica vermelha, independentemente do tipo de argila usada. Palavras-chave: dióxido de titânio, DRX, fotocatálise, cerâmica vermelha. Abstract The titanium dioxide presents good properties as a photocatalyst material for application in processes of
This study carried out the microstructural characterization, by light microscopy, of sintered SiC in the presence of liquid phase at temperatures of 1800, 1850 and 1900 ºC, added with Al 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 as well with Al 2 O 3 -YAG composite in the proportions of 5, 10 and 15% by weight. It was possible to observe the formation of microstructural patterns resulting from the heterogeneous segregation of the additives, such observation is associated to the pulling of additives during the initial stage of ceramography. Two ceramographic paths were followed: method I -surface grinding followed by manual polishing and method II -automatic grinding and polishing. In order to compare the two techniques the analysis of 3D roughness by light interferometry and the Vickers microhardness test were used. It was concluded by the analysis of variance with 95% confidence that the degree of finishing obtained by both methods allowed the adequate microstructural characterization, as well as, to meet the requirements established by the ASTM C1327-15 standard for hardness test.
ResumoO SiC é uma cerâmica utilizada como material estrutural devido a algumas características que apresenta, tais como: alta resistência ao desgaste, ao choque térmico e a oxidação. Este composto apresenta algumas utilidades industriais do carbeto de silício, tais como selos mecânicos, vigas, rolos, chapas e placas de blindagem. Este trabalho tem como objetivo comparar as propriedades de placas hexagonais de carbeto de silício aditivado com óxidos de alumínio e ítrio comercial com placas de carbeto de silício aditivados com óxidos de alumínio e ítrio nanométricos produzidos por SHS e tratados termicamente a temperatura de 1200ºC.

This compound features some industrial uses of silicon carbide, such as mechanicals, beams, rolls, plates and shielding plates. This work aims to compare the properties of hexagonal plates of silicon carbide additives with aluminum oxides and commercial yttrium with silicon carbide plates added with aluminum oxide and yttrium oxide produced by SHS and heat treated at a temperature of 1200ºC.
