Porcelain stoneware tiles with antimicrobial action

Ceramics International, 2014
Abstract This work reports the development of extruded porcelain stoneware tiles that show antimicrobial (to act as a barrier to the bacteria's growth during a long period of time), and anti-stain (easy to clean) actions, and possess high chemical resistance.

Porcelain tile microstructure: implications for polishability

Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2006
Abstract The present study examines the influence of porcelain tile microstructure on tile polishability and polishing efficiency. A range of different fired porcelain tile microstructures was obtained by varying the quartz particle size and content in the starting composition, and the peak firing temperature.

Defect Detection in Porcelain Tiles Using Ultrasound

2011
The main point of this work is the optimization of ultrasonic methods for the non-destructive testing of sintered porcelain tiles containing defects. Zirconia and steel balls of different diameter and rubber with different thicknesses were imbedded in porcelain tile granules before pressing.

Multiscale Simulation of Porcelain Tile Manufacturing

Ceramic forum international, 2022
In this paper, the developed BPM-based model was used to obtain further insight into one of the most critical processing steps of tile manufacturing, namely uniaxial pressing of porcelain stoneware tiles. The simulations were validated by experimental analysis considering different material and processing param-eters. The validated simulations improved

The reliability of polished porcelain stoneware tiles

Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2005
The flexural strength and the Young’s modulus of as fired and polished porcelain stoneware tiles were investigated. Bending tests were carried out on suitable specimens, cut from five commercial products before and after polishing. The differences found in the flexural strength data were evaluated by the analysis of variance and the determination of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Curvature Evolution of Porcelain Tile during Firing

Materials Science Forum, 2015
Planarity is one of indispensable attribute of a ceramic tile quality. During the firing changes on curvature may be permanent causing damage on quality and productivity. The objective was to evaluate curvature evolution on porcelain tile during heating stage of firing. Effects of engobe and glaze coating were evaluated.

Double pressing for porcelain stoneware tiles: an exploratory analysis

Industrial Management & Data Systems, 2008
PurposeDouble pressing systems have recently been introduced to speed up and improve the pressing step of porcelain stoneware tiles. This paper aims to analyze double pressing systems using discontinuous pre‐compaction, both technically and economically.

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.
