The results of studies on the effect of the grain size and amount of cerami
c bonding materials (ceramic binder) on the size of pores in porous ceramic
materials are presented. Electrocorundum and silicon carbide of various gr
ain sizes were used as the grain material. Borosilicate glass was used as a
ceramic binder for electrocorundum, whereas a mixture of kaolin with felds
pars was used as that for silicon carbide. The sintering conditions were ch
osen so as the borosilicate glass was in a melted form, and the ceramic bin
der for silicon carbide only sintered during the sintering process. The stu
dies showed that the mean pore size of the porous ceramic material decrease
s with an increase in the amount of the sintering ceramic binder and increa
ses with that of the melting ceramic binder during the sintering process. (
