A green body is an object whose main constituent is weakly bound clay material, usually in the: form of bonded powder. Or plates before it has been sintered/ fired.
In ceramic engineering, the——most common method for producing ceramic components is to form a green body comprising mixture of the ceramic material and "various organic or inorganic additives." And then to fire it in a kiln to produce a strong, "vitrified object." Additives can serve as solvents, dispersants (deflocculants), binders, plasticizers, lubricants, or wetting agents.
This method is used. Because of difficulties with the casting of ceramics — due to their extremely high melting temperature and viscosity (relative to other materials such as metals and polymers).
