Definitions
- the present specification relates to ceramic pastes (ceramic and/or ceramicforming pastes), methods of making such pastes, and methods of making self-standing extruded articles by extruding such pastes.
- Ceramic products in a wide range of fields from refractory tubing to automotive and diesel exhaust filters and catalytic converter substrates can be manufactured by extrusion of pastes. The cost of such products can be driven by the rate of production of quality products.
- a method of manufacturing a ceramic-forming batch mixture comprising: changing a cordierite precursor batch mixture (“starting mixture”) from a high wall drag state (“first state”) to a reduced wall drag state (“second state”) by introducing an amount of one or more lubricant constituents in the batch mixture (“resulting batch mixture”).
- the resulting batch mixture in the second state exhibits a lower wall drag than the starting mixture in the first state, as measured via the same capillary rheometer test.
- the second state is not a low drag wall state.
- the introducing the amount of one or more lubricant constituents comprises adding, or increasing, an amount of PEO.
- the starting mixture comprises: an inorganic component comprised of cordierite precursor inorganic particles; a cellulosic binder component comprised of a methylcellulose constituent; a lubricant component comprised of fatty acid and/or synthetic oil; and a liquid vehicle component comprised of water.
- the resulting mixture comprises a higher amount of PEO, and a lower amount of the methylcellulose constituent.
- the starting mixture contains no PEO.
- the starting mixture contains fatty acid and synthetic oil.
- the starting mixture contains greater than 0.5 wt% fatty acid and greater than 5.00 wt% synthetic oil.
- the starting mixture contains less than 2.00 %fatty acid and less than 7.00 wt% synthetic oil.
- the resulting mixture contains no synthetic oil.
- the resulting mixture contains 1.00 to 3.00 wt% PEO.

- Batch flow characteristics may be determined, at least in part, by the stiffness and wall drag characteristics of the ceramic paste formed from the batch.
- the wall drag of the ceramic paste should be low enough that the ceramic paste moves through the manufacturing equipment and the extrusion dies at a reasonable pressure and with an even flow through the die.
- fluids used to lower wall drag should not be added in quantities such that the resultant extrudate loses stiffness (e.g., slumps) or has a decrease in tensile strength.
- the organics package of the batch mixture may be controlled to minimize wall drag while preventing slumping and retaining tensile strength, and in some embodiments even reducing the pressure used for extrusion.
- the decreased wall drag can provide product and quality benefits, process benefits, and reductions in manufacturing costs.
- the ability to alter the wall drag for a batch mixture may minimize bow and reduce slump, while increasing die life and reducing energy costs.
- the batch mixtures of the various embodiments include concentrations of the non-polar carbon chain lubricant and the organic surfactant sufficient to reduce wall drag while maintaining good tensile strength and maintaining good firing characteristics.
- the composition and/or wall drag state of the batch mixture can also affect the flow of the batch through the extruder.
- the flow of the composition of the batch mixture may be influenced by the type of binder, the particle sizes and orientation or particles contained in the batch, and the like.
- the flow of the batch is affected by the amount of non-polar carbon chain lubricant and the amount of organic surfactant having a polar head contained within the batch.
- the “die life” or footage of batch through an extrusion die before recoating is needed can be a significant cost factor.
- the rate at which products can be extruded is dependent on die pressure which includes contributions of the “wall drag” induced by the batch being forced through an extrusion die. Reduction of wall drag helps to achieve both higher rates of extrusion and longer die life.
- Low Wall Drag (LWD) ceramic pastes may also comprise a lubricant package, such as a lubricant package of fatty acid and an oil, such as synthetic oil, such as polyalphaolefin.
- a lubricant package such as a lubricant package of fatty acid and an oil, such as synthetic oil, such as polyalphaolefin.
- the amounts, or ratio, of fatty acid and polyalphaolefin can vary, but while such lubricant package helps to achieve a LWD state for the paste, the lubricant package can also result in a reduced tensile characteristic of the paste.
- the reduced tensile behavior occurs because the water content in the paste may need to be reduced in order to maintain stiffness (i.e.
- lubricant addition may displace water), and for aqueous based pastes that comprise a cellulosic ether binder such as methylcellulose, the reduced water content or amount in the paste reduces the hydration of the methylcellulose binder responsible for achieving acceptable tensile properties.
- aqueous based pastes that comprise a cellulosic ether binder such as methylcellulose
- low wall drag ceramic precursor batch mixtures can provide reduced operating extrusion die pressures which can enable faster extrusion speeds/rates, can provide low die wear that can lead to longer run time on the extrusion die before the die needs to be recoated, and can allow increased stiffness leading to improved article quality
- challenges with low wall drag batch mixtures include an increased amount of organics which are added to produce slip, which can lead to challenges in firing the extruded ware; requires increased precision for extrusion die dimensions, as reduced drag magnifies any slot to slot variability which can cause defects in the extruded ware; and can present velocity and temperature sensitivity, which can reduce tensile properties of the batch mixture.
- high wall drag ceramic precursor batch mixtures can provide a lower required amount of lubricant, which facilitates firing; is less sensitive to extrusion die dimensions variability; although on the other hand, the high wall drag batch mixtures can require higher die operating pressure which may require slower extrusion rates; can induce high extrusion die wear; and can require a softer batch mixture in order to extrude.
