Time-temperature-transformation diagrams for brick, tile and pipe clays: their determination and use

Abstract

Stage 1 of this project involved the chemical, mineralogical and physical analysis of 245 samples of works feed, stockpile or quarry material representing the main geological horizons supplying heavy clay raw materials. Twenty-five samples were selected for Stage 2 when the results of more detailed firing tests under a range of time and temperature conditions were used to produce time-temperature-transformation diagrams for each mineral identified in the fired briquette. Time-temperature-transformation diagrams identified included those where the minerals concerned disappeared with increasing temperature and firing times; those where the mineral persisted over the entire firing range; and those where the mineral did not begin to form until high temperatures and firing times were achieved. The plots for each sample clay were combined and it then became possible to determine the potential for adjusting firing regimes to save energy or increase production rates, while at the same time maintaining the required mineralogy.
