Environmental profile of Spanish porcelain stoneware tiles [PDF]
Purpose Porcelain stoneware tile (PST) iscurrently the ceram- ic tile of greatest commercial and innovation interest. An envi- ronmental life cycle assessment of different varieties of PST was undertaken to enable hotspots to be identified, strategies tobedefined,differencesbetweenPSTvarietiestobeevaluated ...

Comparison of Methods for Determining the Water Absorption of Glazed Porcelain Stoneware Ceramic Tiles [PDF]
This work evaluated the water absorption of glazed porcelain stoneware ceramic tiles using three different methods. Two methods were based on a procedure of boiling in water, specified by standards ISO 10545 and ASTM C373, and the third was the vacuum ...

Influence of preparation parameters on the properties of SiC abrasive stones and their applications
Abstract The preparation of highly efficient and low cost abrasive stones has gained considerable interest in the last few years from the industrial and academic research societies. Meanwhile, composition of such abrasive stones material has played a significant role on its physicochemical, mechanical properties and cost.

Foaming Species and Trapping Mechanisms in Barium Silicate Glass Sealants
Sinter foaming of barium silicate glass powders used for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) sealing is studied. It is shown that foaming is driven by carbonaceous species adsorbed during milling or later storage. These species are trapped beneath the glass powder surface via mechanical dissolution or microencapsulation into cracks or micropores of particle ...

Kinetic study of the transformation of sodalite to nepheline
Abstract The kinetics and mechanism of the development of nepheline (NaAlSiO4) through thermal transformation of sodalite (Na4Al3Si3O12Cl) was studied by means of differential thermal analysis at different heating rates (10°C min−1 to 50°C min−1) to control the evolution of the crystallization fraction.

Shaping by Internal Material Frustration: Shifting to Architectural Scale
Self‐shaping by material frustration is demonstrated for the first time at an architectural scale and in structural materials, typical of the construction field. Quantitative comparison with theoretical predictions, as well as scaling‐up and gravitation effect are presented.

Trial inspection of exterior‐tile wall specimens with a prototyped tile‐debonding diagnostic device
The prototyped tile debonding diagnostic device has an impact force sensor and four microphones and outputs detection parameter RAF for each microphone. The maximum value of RAF at the four microphones was defined as RAF‐max. A threshold value of RAF‐max was set and the results of detection of debonding were displayed on figures of the specimens.

The use of perlite as flux in the production of porcelain stoneware tiles
In this study, the effect of perlite from NW Turkey on the physical properties of ceramic tile bodies was investigated. The phases present in the raw materials were measured by X-ray diffraction while chemical analysis of the raw materials were ...
