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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Wear Resistance and Stain Resistance of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles

Key Engineering Materials, 2001
The objective of the investigation was to study the mechanisms causing material transfer phenomena during dynamic interaction between porcelain stoneware tile surfaces and different kinds of materials. Tribological tests were carried out using a pin-on-disk apparatus with disks cut from different commercial porcelain stoneware tile samples coupled with

Development of lightweight porcelain stoneware tiles using foaming agents

Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2012
Abstract Recent market trends for porcelain stoneware tiles indicate that there is a growing interest for lightweight products, to be used vertically, in internal walls or ventilated facades. The decorative and structural functions have now been coupled with additional features, such as thermal insulation.

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 ...
