Glass–ceramics are ceramic materials produced through controlled crystallisation
(nucleation and crystal growth) of a parent glass. The great variety of compositions and the …

A series of high hardness anorthite-based transparent glass-ceramic glaze was successfully
developed for ceramic tiles. These glazes were prepared by mixing a high-calcium frit …

TiO 2 is an ideal substitute to ZrSiO 4 ceramic opacifier, yet it is limited to application
because of the undesirable yellowing resulting from rutile formation. Herein, the SiO 2 …

The transparent anorthite-based glass-ceramic glaze was prepared at 1200° C by mineral
raw materials. The effect of ZnO content on the structures and properties of the anorthite …

TiO 2 is a potential alternative opacifier to ZrSiO 4, but it is restricted because it easily
causes glaze yellowing due to the formation of rutile. Herein, the CaCO 3-TiO 2 composite …

The aim of this work was to study the effects of additions of sodium metaphospahte (1–50
Wt.%) on optical properties of a conventional borosilicate glaze. The optical properties were …

The aim of this study was to develop new compositions of white glazes without the addition
of ZrSiO 4 designed for sanitary products obtained in a 12-h firing cycles at a maximum …

In recent years, porcelain tiles have been increasingly used as an alternative to natural
stone and marble. Moreover, the expectation of the development of more white porcelain tile …

The paper focuses on the results of research on the development of newly designed white
glazes without the addition of traditional opacifiers such as ZrO 2 or ZrSiO 4, intended for …

Glaze in the CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 system was heated at 950–1190° C for 2h and
characterized. X-ray diffraction showed that only trace amount of mullite was formed in the …
