Figure 13.1.1 shows the manufacturing process flow chart for cordierite honeycomb. The raw materials for cordierite are kaolin, alumina, and talc, which are pulverized to suitable sizes for extrusion. These raw material powders are mixed with organic binders and water, then kneaded. The kneaded clay mixture is extruded through a die, dried and cut to specified length. These dried bodies are then fired at around 1400°C. 

This manipulation requires that the mass to he formed be of sufficient tractability to be easily introduced into the cavities of the mould by kneading, and that, when pressed, It be of sufficient tenacity as not to bend or yield upon removal. It must, therefore, acquire consistency, and dry in the mould—a condition which Tenders it absolutely necessary that the moulds he constructed of substances of a porous nature, otherwise the pieces would adhere and lose their shape upon removal. The moulds are, therefore, generally formed of gypsum—plaster of Paris—and sometimes of burned clay, and are of every variety of size and pattern, a complete set of pattarns being required for evory new design, and for every size of the same pattern. Moulds for plates, dishes, and other shallow articles, consist of only one pioco, while for jugs, vases, and more elaborate forms, several pieces or moulds are employed. 

Amongst tho varieties of fine earthenware may bo classed the peculiar manufacture of day pipes. The clay used in the construction of these requires extreme plasticity, together with a certain amount of porosity upon firing. The plastic clay found in the foyers forming the basis of the clay deposit, is used without the addition of a flux, but to insure tho perfect uniformity and pliability of the mass, great care is taken with the kneading and slapping processes. 

Clay is kneaded or wedged to remove any pockets of air and to disperse lumps to make it smooth and homogeneous. 

It is better to use sloping ground to build the oven, and the surface of the ground must always be dry. Water and clay must be easily obtained near the place as the water is especially necessary to knead the clay. 

The preceeding chapters gave descriptions of making arms in imitation of ancient weapons, and now the amateur armorer must have some helmets to add to his collection. There is no limit to the size of the helmet, and it may be made as a model or full sized. In constructing helmets, a mass of clay of any kind that is easily workable and fairly stiff, is necessary, says the English Mechanic, London. It must be kept moist and well kneaded. A large... 

A mass of any kind of clay that is easily modeled and fairly stiff must be prepared and kept moist and well kneaded for making the models over which paper is formed to make the shape of the articles illustrated in these sketches. A modeling board must be made of one large board or several pieces joined closely together upon which to work the clay, says the English Mechanic, London. The size of the board depends upon the size of the work to be made. 

Slam the clay ball onto your work surface to get rid of any air bubbles inside so that your clay will not break when it dries. Be sure to roll and knead the clay between your hands so that it becomes soft and easy to use. 

The test samples were prepared by mixing the raw materials in different proportions. Water was added, in the amount of 30% by weight based on the total weight, to combine clay mixture. The clay mixture was soaked overnight to get a homogeneous mixture. The soaked mixture was then mechanically stirred and then kneaded by hands on the gypsum board. After the kneading, the clay... 

The wear situation is likely to be aggravated should hard additives of a coarser grain fraction be embedded in a softer matrix, such as clay, as the result of an upstream kneading process. This may lead to grain sliding wear (besides a two-body and even a proper three-body abrasive wear), which could, in the absence of an intermediate lubricating medium, have drastic consequences. Similarly, lack of an intermediate medium will favour any likely adhesive wear. 

Additional specimens were prepared by melting and kneading sodium-type montmorillonite (unorganized type) and nylon 6 using a twin screw extruder at 250 °C for the purpose of comparing them with the specimens prepared as described above. This method of preparing specimens is commonly used when compounding particulate fillers with polymers. The composite material prepared in this way was called NCC (Nylon 6-Clay Composite), and the NCC was compared with the NCH. 

A nylon 66 clay nanocomposite was produced using the dry-compound method [26]. Co-intercalation organophihc clay was used as the clay base. Na-montmorillonite was first processed using hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium ions and epoxy resin. It was then kneaded using a twin screw extruder to make a clay nano composite. As the amount of clay that was added increased, the amount of y (gamma) phases increased. This is thought to be due to the strong interactions between the nylon 66 chains and the sinface of the clay layers.
