Elimination of discolouration in reformulated bone china bodies

Effect of Al2O3 Addition on the Flexural Strength and Light‐Transmission Properties of Bone China

“…The TEC of anorthite crystal is 4.3 × 10 −6 °C −1 between 20 and 500°C and that of β‐TCP crystal is 12 × 10 −6 °C −1 between 20 and 400°C. A. Capoglu suggested that reducing the amount of the β‐TCP crystalline phase, which exhibited a high TEC, and increasing the amount of the crystalline phase of anorthite, which exhibited a low TEC, would reduce the TEC of bone china appreciably. In this study, with the increase in the amount of added alumina, the amount of anorthite phase increased and that of β‐TCP decreased in bone china bodies.…”

Preparation of ceramic wall tiling derived from blast furnace slag

“…In particular, the TEC of D3 is lower than the other samples. The value of the TEC could be calculated by using a simple rule of mixtures, consistent with the relative proportions of the phases [18]. Anorthite-based ceramic has a low TEC value due to the formation of a single anorthite phase [19].…”

Sintering of tricalcium phosphate–fluorapatite composites with zirconia

“…The thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of each compound presents practically the same value in literature. [34][35][36] In fact, the TEC of ␤-TCP from 50 • C to 400 • C is 12 × 10 −6 • C −1 . 35 While Fap has TEC values of (7.4-11.9) × 10 −6 • C −1 (20-300 • C).…”
