Syntheses and characterizations of cullet-clay-titanium nitride ceramics

A series of ceramic based on composition of (60-x) cullet-40 clay-(x) TiN (0=x=6 mol %) has successfully been made by dry pressing technique followed by sintering at 1000 oC. The occurrence of crystalline phase is determined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique. The actual composition of ceramic...
