Stoneware Tiles Based on Gneiss Rocks
Interceram - International Ceramic Review, 2018This paper reports on the possibility of using gneiss rock as a substitute flux for the fabrication of stoneware tiles. The petrographic descriptions and the chemical composition of the rock were investigated. The results showed that the sintering temperature, the phase composition, and the thermo-mechanical properties are affected by the chemical ...

The reliability of polished porcelain stoneware tiles
Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2005The 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 ...

Double pressing for porcelain stoneware tiles: an exploratory analysis
Industrial Management & Data Systems, 2008PurposeDouble 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.

Resistance to impact of porcelain stoneware tiles
Ceramics International, 2016The 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, 2017Abstract 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 ...

Granite as flux in stoneware tile manufacturing
Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2011Abstract Natural granite was used to completely replace both feldspathic and inert components of a traditional ceramic body. Raw material from Sinai (Egypt) was added (in the range 20–35 wt%) to a commercial Egyptian ball clays (from Aswan, Egypt) in order to obtain laboratory tiles sintered at 1220 °C.

Development of Low‐Firing B‐Fluxed Stoneware Tiles
Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 2009In a global period of economic recession, innovation is a key requisite to get over this critical phase and prompt an upturn in the economy. Even the market of traditional ceramics is in a stalemate and producers desperately seek for new ideas which may supersede the long‐used stoneware tiles.

Influence of Strengthening Components on Industrial Mixture of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles
Key Engineering Materials, 2004A 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 ...

Wear Resistance and Stain Resistance of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles
Key Engineering Materials, 2001The 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, 2012Abstract 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.
