This work is focused on the study of macroscopic and microscopic properties of traditional
sanitary-ware vitreous bodies as a function of feldspar flux and firing time-temperature …

Porcelain stoneware is a strongly sintered ceramic material fabricated from ball clays-quartz-
feldspar mixtures. Porcelain stoneware is characterized by its excellent technical and …

This work examines the effect of microstructure (aspect ratio of mullite crystals and
proportion of crystalline and amorphous phases) as well as different physical features (bulk …

Effect of composition on viscosity of porcelain stoneware tiles and role of the viscosity on
microstructure development and stain resistance in porcelain stoneware tiles were …

This study focuses on optimizing the composition and firing temperature of porcelain tiles
using statistical analysis techniques. A full factorial design, including model adequacy …

The influence of tempering and firing practices on the fracture strength and fracture energy
of traditional pottery is presented, focusing on the mechanical behaviour of low-calcareous …

The present work analyses the effect of mineralogy, microstructure and firing temperature on
the effective thermal conductivity of traditional hot processing ceramics. Samples prepared …

Granite extraction waste represents an interesting alternative material for porcelain
stoneware production, but information on its influence presents several gaps. For this …

A wide range of porcelain-based materials is composed of quartz crystalline particles
dispersed in a homogeneous glassy phase. During the cooling stage these composites are …

In this study, the effect of talc, illite and kaolinite on some properties of porcelain stoneware
tiles was investigated. Raw materials available locally in a Brazilian ceramics production …
