In the present study, the resistance to surface abrasion of two commercial glazed ceramic tiles was determined according to the test method specified in the Standard ISO 10545-7 The worn areas of all the specimens were analysed using a non-destructive technique, an optical profilometer. These results, coupled with a morphological analyses carried out with a scanning electron microscope, allowed to understand the mechanisms acted during the material removal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
