• closedAccess   Analysis of the development of microscopic residual stresses on quartz particles in porcelain tile 

      De Noni, Agenor; Hotza, Dachamir; Cantavella Soler, Vicente; Sánchez-Vilches, Enrique Elsevier (2008-10)
      This paper examines the development of microscopic residual stresses on quartz particles in porcelain tile using the XRD technique. The study was conducted with a typical porcelain tile composition consisting of sodium ...
    • closedAccess   Delayed curvature and residual stresses in porcelain tiles 

      Bannier, Emilie; García Ten, Francisco Javier; Castellano, Javier; Cantavella Soler, Vicente 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 ...
    • openAccess   Fracture toughness and temperature dependence of Young's modulus of a sintered albite glass 

      Dal Bó, Marcelo; Cantavella Soler, Vicente; Sánchez-Vilches, Enrique; Hotza, Dachamir; Gilabert Villegas, Francisco A. Elsevier (2013-03)
      Albite glass is an important component in many ceramic compositions, often used as liquid phase during the sintering process. Nevertheless, in spite of its almost ubiquous presence in the final microstructure of these ...
    • closedAccess   Porous single-fired wall tile bodies: Influence of quartz particle size on tile properties 

      José Luis, Amorós Albaro; Orts Tarí, María José; Mestre Beltrán, Sergio; García Ten, Francisco Javier; Feliu Mingarro, Carlos 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 ...
