The green density of a pressed ceramic compact matters because it

  • A.sets the temperature at which the binder finally burns out
  • B.influences the shrinkage and the final sintered density
  • C.determines the colour of the piece once it is fired
  • D.fixes the chemical composition of the ceramic body

Answer: B

Correct answer: influences the shrinkage and the final sintered density

A denser green compact has less porosity to remove, so it shrinks less on firing and generally reaches a higher final density. Predicting the fired dimensions therefore depends on the green density, which is why it is measured and controlled rather than merely achieved.
