Resistance to impact of porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2016
The impact resistance of ceramic tiles is an important technical requirement, especially for large size and/or low thickness slabs. The standard test for ceramic tiles (ISO 10545-5) is non-destructive: it determines the coefficient of restitution of a small sample (75 x 75 mm(2)) assembled on a concrete substrate under a weak impact energy (0.27 J ...

Influence of Strengthening Components on Industrial Mixture of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles

Key Engineering Materials, 2004
A typical industrial formulation for porcelain stoneware tiles was modified by adding synthetic mullite, and mullite-precursors, such as kaolin and gibbsite in order to enhance the mechanical properties by increasing the mullite content. The change in the physical properties as well as the technological and mechanical behaviour were evaluated on the ...

Lightweight Porcelain Stoneware by Engineered CeO₂ Addition

Advanced Engineering Materials, 2010
AbstractThe use of porcelain stoneware in innovative applications such as the covering of internal walls or the manufacturing of ventilated facades may be limited by its relatively high density. In this paper, we discuss the achievement of a reduction in density of about 30%, coupled to a limited water absorption (about 2%), by the addition of CeO2 to ...

PORCELAINIZED STONEWARE TILE

1995
Dense, low-porosity, small-pore-size tile can be manufactured from kaolin clays at maximum firing temperatures. The unglazed porcelainized stoneware tile can be used for exterior applications and as frost-resistant materials.

Porcelainized stoneware: processing and characteristics

2003
Unglazed fast fired porcelainized stoneware tiles, for pavering and for exteriors, are the main innovative products present on the tile market. They are prepared using mainly kaolinitic clays, quartz and large amounts of fluxes to increase the sintering.

Elastic properties of porous porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2017
Abstract Porcelain stoneware tiles are industrially processed by using high sintering temperatures and fast firing cycles that result in products characterized by an almost impervious surface layer surrounding a rather porous bulk material. Since mechanical properties are affected by porosity, the knowledge of the material stiffness is an important ...

Figuratively Speaking: The Female Form in Stoneware and Porcelain

2023
There is no entity that is as complex, mysterious and fascinating as the human female. She has been drawn, painted, sculpted, sung about, admired, loved, hated, feared and wondered about for as long as there have been men on earth.

Clays in manufacturing of unglazed porcelainized stoneware

2002
Clay based minerals are the main components of unglazed porcelainized stoneware ("gres porcellanato") bodies and their amount generally ganges from 40 to 60 wt%. They confer plasticity and workability in the green state and fournish the main oxides involved, with fluxes and other sintering aids, in the strenghening mechanism of the body during firing ...

Micromechanics Principles Applied to Fracture Propagation in Porcelain Stoneware Tiles

2008
The possibility of discussing the mech. properties of porcelain stoneware tiles with a scientific approach typically used in the investigation of the composite materials is studied. A thorough microstructural investigation was conducted to det. if the addn. of selected low-cost minerals would improve mech. properties.
