  • Glass and Glass-Ceramics
    Chapter 3 Sintering and Microstructure of Ceramics 3.1. Sintering and microstructure of ceramics We saw in Chapter 1 that sintering is at the heart of ceramic processes. However, as sintering takes place only in the last of the three main stages of the process (powders o forming o heat treatments), one might be surprised to see that the place devoted to it in written works is much greater than that devoted to powder preparation and forming stages. This is perhaps because sintering involves scientific considerations more directly, whereas the other two stages often stress more technical observations M in the best possible meaning of the term, but with manufacturing secrets and industrial property aspects that are not compatible with the dissemination of knowledge. However, there is more: being the last of the three stages M even though it may be followed by various finishing treatments (rectification, decoration, deposit of surfacing coatings, etc.) M sintering often reveals defects caused during the preceding stages, which are generally optimized with respect to sintering, which perfects them M for example, the granularity of the powders directly impacts on the densification and grain growth, so therefore the success of the powder treatment is validated by the performances of the sintered part. Sintering allows the consolidation M the non-cohesive granular medium becomes a cohesive material M whilst organizing the microstructure (size and shape of the grains, rate and nature of the porosity, etc.). However, the microstructure determines to a large extent the performances of the material: all the more reason why sintering Chapter written by Philippe BOCH and Anne LERICHE.

  • Marco Verità* Secrets and Innovations of Venetian Glass Between The
    Marco Verità* SECRETS AND INNOVATIONS OF VENETIAN GLASS BETWEEN THE 15TH AND THE 17TH CENTURIES: RAW MATERIALS, GLASS MELTING AND ARTEFACTS From the fifteenth to the end of the seventeenth century,V enice has been the world leader in glassmaking. Murano’s primacy was due to the extraordinary quality of its glass (homogeneity, transparency, palette of colours, etc.), the style of Venetian glassware, the skill of glassmasters and the wide range of products. This supremacy could be reached and maintained thanks to the fact that glassmaking in Venice has always been a dynamic craft. Since its beginnings it underwent radical changes and incorporated many innovations along the centuries. The oldest extant document attesting a production of glassware in Venice is a manuscript dating to 982 A.D.; nevertheless archaeological evidence of glassworking since the 7-8th centuries was found in the island of Torcello in the Venetian lagoon. Since the origins the Venetian glass was (and is still today) of the soda-lime-silica type, that is mainly composed of sodium (Na2O), 1 calcium (CaO) and silicon (SiO2) oxides . The reluctance ofV enetian glassmakers to change the composition of their glass is rather complex to explain. Any glass represents a combination of properties: thermal (viscosity, workability), optical (colour, transparency), chemical (resistance to environmental attack, …), etc., which cannot be modified separately and vary by changing the composition of glass (type and ratios of the components). * Laboratorio Analisi Materiali Antichi LAMA, Sistema dei Laboratori, IUAV University, Venice, Italy. 1 Other types of glass were created and manufactured in Venice, such as lead silica glass for the production of imitation gemstones, not discussed in this paper.

As an augmented German translation of Italian (1612) and English (1662) editions, Kunckel presented a complex and layered text that contained a plethora of recipes, elaborate com- mentaries and annotations, and various appendices dealing with glass-related technologies and arts. We reworked four recipes for rosichiero glass (a trans- parent red glass) in Kunckel’s book to discover what strategies Kunckel em- ployed to help readers engage with the recipes and to make the recipes work in the specificity of their own workshop.
