| Sumario: | The feasibility of illitic-kaolinitic clay in ceramic packing manufacturing was assessed. Industrial illitic-kaolinitic clay was formed by extrusion method in the shape of Raschig ring and was sintered at temperatures between 1100 and 1300 o C. The samples were characterized after sintering and open, total and closed porosity were determined by standard methods. For better understanding the role of firing temperature on compressive strength and reliability of Raschig rings, the diametric compressive strength tests were performed and the results were analyzed by Weibull statistical theory. The obtained experimental results showed that the Weibull modulus was significantly affected by sintering temperature and decreases as function of total porosity. Furthermore, the microstructures of samples sintered at different temperatures were observed by scanning electron microscopy, SEM, to confirm the statistical results. In conclusion, though the compressive strength of ceramic Raschig rings improves as the total porosity decreases but, the reliability of them strongly depends on sintering temperature |
