The Influence of Magnesium Silicates on Technological Behaviour of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles

Key Engineering Materials, 2001
The influence of magnesium silicates, as sintering promoters, on the technological behaviour of porcelain stoneware tiles has been investigated. Three different raw materials formulations were studied: a typical industrial body, containing sodium feldspar as flux, and two alternative mixtures containing talc or chlorite as magnesium source, in partial ...

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

Recycling of polishing porcelain stoneware residues in ceramic tiles

Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2007
The possibility of recycling residues, coming from the industrial polishing process of porcelain stoneware tiles, by their incorporation in a porcelain stoneware body mix, was studied. Starting from a standard body mix, several modified body mixes were prepared by replacing different amounts of the fluxing component, a sodium feldspar sand, with these ...

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.

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.

Mechanical Properties of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles: The Effect of Glass-Ceramic Systems

Key Engineering Materials, 2001
In the latest years, the addition of glass-ceramics systems to porcelain stoneware bodies has been experimented to assess their expected technological benefits and aesthetic advantages. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of glass-ceramics on mechanical properties appraising the intimate changes occurring as a consequence of the ...

Process of pyroplastic shaping for special-purpose porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2009
A novel technique to manufacture special-purpose tiles (i.e. trim pieces, steps, skirting boards, etc.) has been recently developed on the basis of a pyroplastic shaping of porcelain stoneware tiles. This innovative process involves a second firing, peaking at temperatures close to those of sintering, whose effect was investigated by comparing ...

The use of nepheline-syenite in a body mix for porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2005
In the study, the possibility to use nepheline-syenite, as fluxing agent, in a body mix used for porcelain stoneware tile, was determined. Starting from the reference mix composition, different amounts, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.6 wt.%, of sodium feldspar were replaced with the same amounts of nepheline-syenite.
