Abstract Many properties of special ceramic materials, often closely related, such as sintering temperature, shrinkage in firing, mineral reaction, and strength can be studied with thermal analysis. Also, the influence of type, structure, and preparation of raw materials, plasticizers, and binding materials for forming and compressing, as well as the compatibility with protective coatings (glazes, varnishes, metal films), is investigated by thermal analysis. The development of a new dilatometer for the temperature range 25–2000°C with maximum heating rates of 20 K·min−1 and samples 25–50 mm in length and 6–12 mm in diameter for measurements in argon armosphere and vacuum has opened up new horizons. Sintering studies at high temperatures are described.
