Calcium carbonate decomposition in white-body tiles during firing in the presence of carbon dioxide
(Elsevier, 2013-08)
This study examines the thermal decomposition process of the calcium carbonate (calcite powder) contained in test pieces of porous ceramics, of the same composition as that used in manufacturing ceramic wall tile bodies, ...
Delayed curvature and residual stresses in porcelain tiles
(Elsevier, 2013)
Most industrial porcelain tiles suffer changes in their curvature after firing: such process is known as delayed curvature. One of the hypotheses used to explain this phenomenon is based on the relaxation of residual ...
Estimation of the heat of reaction in traditional ceramic compositions
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
Most energy studies on the traditional ceramic manufacturing process focus on the firing stage because this is the process stage that consumes the greatest amount of thermal energy. At present in Europe, using typical ...
Relationship between Young's modulus and temperature in porcelain tiles
(Elsevier, 2012)
A focused research was conducted on samples prepared from an industrial porcelain tile composition containing quartz, used to produce ceramic floor tiles, with the aim of evaluating the variation of fired specimens’ Young's ...
Influence of macroscopic residual stresses on the mechanical behavior and microstructure of porcelain tile
(Elsevier, 2008-09)
The development of macroscopic residual stress, as in glass-tempering processes, was studied for porcelain tile. Mechanical strength was observed to increase less than might be theoretically expected, owing to deterioration ...
Effect of quartz particle size on the mechanical behaviour of porcelain tile subjected to different cooling rates
(Elsevier, 2009-04)
Porcelain tile is a high-performance ceramic tile, in which quartz is a major compositional component. After the firing cycle, macroscopic residual stresses develop in the product as a result of rapid cooling. Further, ...
Relationship between certain ceramic roofing tile characteristics and biodeterioration
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper examines the relationship of certain red ceramic roofing tile properties to roofing tile biodeterioration. The following properties were studied: apparent porosity, roughness, and the presence or absence of two ...
Porous single-fired wall tile bodies: Influence of quartz particle size on tile properties
(Elsevier, 2010)
This study examines the effect of quartz particle size in raw material composition customarily used for the manufacture of porous single-fired wall tile bodies on the characteristics of the green tiles and on the thermal ...
Development of a yellow ceramic pigment based on silver nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2012)
In this study a yellow pigment was obtained for third-fire ceramic decorations, based on silver nanoparticles synthesised by the method of chemical reduction in aqueous phase, using silver nitrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone ...
Non-destructive measurement of bulk density distribution in large-sized ceramic tiles
(Elsevier, 2010)
An apparatus has been designed, built, and patented that is able, non-destructively, to determine bulk density distribution in large-sized ceramic tiles. The proposed method, based on the X-ray absorption technique, provides ...
