Methods of testing materials

Summary

The course introduces students to the basic properties of ceramic materials, mainly refractories and mortars, it explains how to determine the properties of materials and use their knowledge to assess the suitability of materials for specific applications. In addition to the parameters of ceramic products, attention is given to the properties of raw materials for their preparation.
