Abstract:In granite body, 1-3-5 wt% ZnO was replaced instead of feldspar and fired in an industrial continuous production kiln. Physical properties of the tiles were determined including dried strength, fired strength, water absorption, fired loss, and colorimeter values. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) measurements for distinctive microstructural changes and phases formed were done. The fired strength values of the standard and 3% ZnO added body are 400 kg/… Show more
