Highly concentrated suspensions of nontransparent fused quartz and materials based on them

Abstract

On the basis of nontransparent quartz glass, using the wet milling method in a porcelain mill and uralit balls, we obtained casting suspensions with volume concentrations of solid phase equal to 70–73%. By means of stabilization with mechanical gravitation stirring we attained a sharp reduction in the slip's viscosity, and increases in density and strength.
