| Abstract Scope |
The Black Hills of South Dakota are rich in geological resources, offering abundant use of industrial materials for ceramics. Among these resources is Fuson Shale, which contains industrial minerals (e.g., quartz, kaolin and muscovite), making it of potential utility for clay-based ceramics applications. This presentation outlines the development of a ceramic materials map, tracing the journey from raw resource to final product. The process starts with the comminution of Fuson Shale into a fine powder, followed by the formulation of a slurry. The formulated slurry was then 3D printed into green body products varying in length and wall thickness. Rheological characterization of different formulations and print speeds helped optimize 3D Printing. High temperature sintering profiles, ranging from 1000°C to 1300°C, were used to minimize porosity and optimize the product's density. Mechanical testing of the sintered product was also incorporated into the materials map for further analysis and improvement. |
