![]() ![]() ![]() Neutrons and protons have very similar masses, roughly equal to 1 amu each. The Carbon nucleus has Z=6, and A=6, where Z is the number of protons, and A the number of neutrons. The unit of mass is an atomic mass unit (amu) = 1.66 × 10-27 kg, and equals 1/12 the mass of a carbon atom. The mass of the electron is negligible with respect to those of the proton and the neutron, which form the nucleus of the atom. The magnitude of each charged particle in an atom is 1.6 × 10-19 Coulombs. Electrons and protons are negative and positive charged particles respectively. After which the whole sample was taken to the mechanical laboratory for tests.Ītoms are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. clay/water ratio) in a cylindrical plastic mold, in the following ratio, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1. The wet forming entailed settling the mixture (i.e. ![]() ![]() They were pressed at pressures 49N/mm2 and 146N/mm2. In the dry pressing process, the following reinforced samples (fiber/clay ratio) in weight by percentage were taken, 0/100, 3/97, 5/95, 8/92, 10/90, 15/85 for all the grain size ranges of kaolin (63-250µm, 250-300µm, >300µm). Wet forming and dry pressing methods were employed to synthesize both the kaolin clay and fiber into cylindrical samples. For utilization both in tension and compression, it becomes necessary to strengthen this porcelain to be able to withstand load especially those in tension. The project is centered in studying and utilizing these properties in making electrical porcelain. Kaolinite clay, being a ceramic is known to possess a characteristic higher compressive strength than tensile strength, hardness, low fracture toughness, all these characteristics coupled with their availability at low cost has made it to be used in high electric power insulation. ![]()
