 DEVELOPMENT OF PYROMETRIC CONES FROM ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS

 AJALA, Adewale Oluwabunmi And MORAKINYO, Abraham David

 2014

Greatly associated with Ceramics technology is heat energy. As a matter of fact, little or nothing can be achieved in this field without firing. Several sources, from gas, kerosene, bio-gas, coal to electricity, are being employed for attaining desired temperatures in both Studio and Industrial ceramic production. Pyrometric cones are used as indicators/gauge for the measurement and control of kiln temperature. While Orton and Seger cones (which are imported) have been employed, the availability of locally produced cones shall remove the burden of importation on investment capital and thereby minimize the cost of production. The twenty-one (21) member Tri-axial blend method was used to blend Miri granite, Gubi ball clay and cullet, all sourced from Bauchi State. A result of 28.57% successful Orton cones equivalent was achieved. They include cones 013, 09, 07, 06, 05 and 04; with squatting temperatures of 895oC, 930oC, 990oC, 1015oC, 1040oC and 1060oC respectively.

 OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS AND SAFE PRACTICE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN CERAMIC PRODUCTION

 AJALA, Adewale Oluwabunmi And ADEDEJI, B. O

 2014

To practice a profession without unnecessary danger is basic to standard practices. Safety and health standards are yet to be established for Studio and Industrial production that deals with specific problems faced in Ceramics. The natural tendency of the ceramic professional to venture into the use of new materials coupled with technological advancement of the processes involved makes the issue of occupational hazards one of critical importance. This paper presents hazards of materials and processes common to ceramic production; measures to avoid/minimize risks; descriptions of physical symptoms of overexposure, and recommends simple control/precautionary measures. For a sustainable development in ceramic production, safety of life of the professional is first.

 DRAWING AS KEY-TOOL IN REALIZING PROLIFIC IDEAS FOR INFRASTRUCTRAL DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRIALISATION A Case Study Of Tile Making Machine (TMM).

 MORAKINYO A. D. 2 Others & AJALA, A. O.

 2014

You can be creative without knowing how to draw, but drawing is extremely helpful when doing creative work. Drawing is a blueprint that enhances visual illustrations of ideas. Leading discoveries whether in science and technology, business, literal world or personal development are first scribbled down with lines. Such is a form of drawings before they are gradually refined to required standards. The end goal of an engineering drawing conveys all required information that paves way for the manufacturing of components or machines. Drawing is a potent tool to technological advancement. Using research and development technique which is synonymous with creative process, with the aid of paper, pencil/pen, computer, software, drawing sets etc, alongside a nine step procedure in actualizing ideas, the drawing of the Tile Making Machine (TMM) as a model in this paper was developed and fabricated. With the result attained, it is practical that drawings are very critical to communicate ideas, receive feedback and enhance creative development in science and technology. This will go a long way in minimizing if not eradicating premature termination of prolific ideas.

 CERAMICS COTTAGE INDUSTRY FOR SELF-EMPLOYMENT, ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AND CAPACITY BUILDING

 AJALA, Adewale Oluwabunmi And Y. O. Sadiq

 2007

Ceramics and ceramic products have become enabling inputs and components of technological advancement in the industrial world today. Aeronautics, Power and Pharmaceuticals are examples. As relevant and viable as the profession is, not all graduates it produces are opportune to work in the Ceramics or other relevant Industries. This constitutes an economic problem. This paper is a model for self-employment and economic empowerment for graduates and capacity building in the field. Capacity building in educating/training of local potters on the technology of Ceramics, as was done at the Bama – ‘Family Support Programme’ – Pottery Centre in Borno State. It also highlights the programmes and schemes put in place by the Federal and State governments for small and medium scale industries and entrepreneurs. In addition, it models how to start and finance a Ceramics Cottage Industry instead of waiting on white-collar jobs. These small scale industries, when wisely managed and sustained, have the capacity to develop into medium and large scale industries, which would further boost the economy of the nation.
