Slip casting

PENUANGAN
SLIP
Stages involved :
Pouring of slurry/suspension/slip of cermic
body composition into a porous mould

Extraction of water into moulds through


pores or voids in mould
.
Forming of solid layer on surface of mould

Excess slip removed (except solid cast)


Advantages:
 Used for complex shaped products
which are not able to produced by
other methods
 For big/bulky products
 Including holloware (tembikar
berongga) such as teapots tembikar,
sanitarywares and “figurines” (bentuk-
bentuk lembaga).
Other advantages:
 High reproducibilty rate with smooth
surface and fine details to original
design
 Any form of ceramic suspension
(ampaian seramik) is possible as long as
the suspension is stable chemically with
right concentration
Disadvantages :
 Long processing time (depending on
thickness and complexity of cast)
 Need to dry cast and working mould
 Requires large working area
 Problem relating to prefential
alignment (penjajaran terpilih) when
using clay

Drain Casting
 Slip pored into mouds
 Forming of cast layers
 Time for casting
 Excess slip drained out
 Partial drying – shrinkage
 Semi-wet Green body removed from mould
 Trimming of cast before glazing and firing
Slip poured into Draining of excess Trimming Finished
mould slip product

Drain Casting
Solid casting
 cast layers on both side walls of mould
 varying thickness
 mould set-up from a few pieces
Slip poured into mould

Solid Casting
Tuangan lohong, contoh: hasilkan mangkuk tandas, figurines, tekoh dll.

Tuangan pejal, contoh: hasilkan sinki, figurines dll.


Requirement of slurry for
slip casting :
1. High solid content
2. Suitable slip viscosity

3. Suitable thixotropy
4. Stable, no chemical rxn and particles
always in suspension
3 properties of slip tested
before casting

 Slip density
 fluidity
 thixotropy
thixotropy
 The condition whereby the clay slip
show increase in viscosity when
undisturbed and when stirred, the
viscosity returns to original state
 Mechanism –due to agglomeration of
clay in suspension
 Presence of different charge on clay
particles results in different packing
arrangement
Possible arrays of clay particles

 Susunan akan runtuh bila ricihan dikenakan
(kelikatan slip menurun), dan bila tiada
gangguan, penyusunan semula berlaku

 Ciri tiksotropi minima diperlukan

 Tiksotropi lebihan

Kebendaliran
 Ciri dimana buburan/slip mudah dialir
 Untuk kebendaliran sesuai dengan kepekatan
pepejal tinggi, penyahkelompok/penyahgumpal
ditambah
 Contoh:
sistem air:tanahliat – 27 oz/pint mengandungi
52% air
Sistem slip dinyahkelompok – 35 oz/pint
mengandungi 30% air
 Penambahan penyahkelompok
mengurangkan penggunaan air walaupun
kepekatan pepejal tinggi dan
kebendaliran yang sesuai.

 Penyahkelompok bantu keadaan ‘rumah

PENGUKURAN KEBENDALIRAN DAN
TIKSOTROPI
 gunakan viskometer kilasan
 The values of fluidity and thixo
determined from degree of overswing
(darjah ayunan lampau ) of flywheel
 Example of suitable values for sanitary
casting :
 fluidity
– 270-330 degree
 Thixotropy (1 minit) – 10-60 degree

Thixotropy (5 minit) – 50-90 degree


Factors influencing
casting process
 Solid Concentration and rheology of slip
 Distribution of pore sizes in mould –
influencing suction and permeability of
mould
 Permeability of cast layer
CAsting Rate
 Balance between mould absorption with
permeability of cast layer and mould
permeability

 Many methods to determine casting rate


controlled parameter

 Generally, flow of casting :

2( S  P)
Q 
2
X t
1 / K c [(1   c ) /(  1)]  1 / K m  m
 Important - the parabolic relationship:

Q  t1/2
 Water movement and forming of cast layer is
proportional to t1/2

Form of casting
1. Bench Casting (Tuangan pangkin)

2. Battery Casting (Tuangan bateri/Tuangan


sejajar)
Battery casting – single cast in a row
Form of casting
3. Pressure Casting (Tuangan Tekanan)
 CAsting involved slight external pressure (~15 bar –
high csting pressure, ~5-6 bar – mild cst pressure).
 Use P.O.P mould but alternatively polymeric mould
 Robust mould and pressure increase casting rate
 Polymeric mould – can be washed (back-wash or
flush method)
Advantage of pressure casting
Kelebihan tuangan tekanan:
 High quality cast
 Less skin defect
 Longer mould life
 Deform shape reduced
 Change of mould – easy
