GOALS

SINGLE FIRED TILES:  Monocottura Red and White body

  • surface defects (body contaminations, glaze application holes, glaze dimples)
  • flatness defects (body-glaze thermal expansion coefficients, tiles planarity and firing curve)
  • geometrical defects (density and firing shrinkage, firing shrinkage for red body tiles, straightness of sides, rectangularity for red body tiles)
  • body defects (pressing lamination, drying cracks, glazing line cracks, black core in red bodies, body thermal expansion and cooling cracks, fired water absorption and mechanical resistance, frost resistance, color tonality variations)

PORCELAIN STONEWARE TILE : Tiles and big slabspart 1

  • surface defects (body contaminations, glaze application holes, glaze hammered surface, glaze contamination pinholes, glaze dimples, digital ink cracks, matt glaze gloss variations, glaze holes from body shrinkage) – geometrical defects (grinding residue and shrinkage, density and firing shrinkage, straightness of sides, rectangularity)

CERAMIC WALL TILES: Double Fired and Monoporosa

  • surface defects (glaze application holes, glossy glaze hammered surface, glossy glaze pinholes, matt glaze pinholes, glaze bubbling)
  • body defects (black core defect in carbonatic bodies, fired tiles mechanical resistance, glaze crazing and body moisture expansion)

PORCELAIN STONEWARE TILE : Tiles and big slabs – part 2

  • body defects (pressing lamination, drying cracks, glazing line cracks, black core, body overfiring, big slabs cooling cracks, fired broken corners, fired tiles mechanical resistance, water absorption, colour tonality variations, rectified tiles and mechanical resistance)
  • flatness defects (body-glaze thermal expansion coefficients, tiles planarity in kiln fast cooling, big slabs cooling and planarity, body thickness of tiles and slabs, thickness of glaze for full lappato slabs, kiln dirty rollers, body pyroplasticity, tile thickness and kiln rollers span)
