Title Of Article :
THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE RAW MATERIAL IN STONEWARE GLAZES
Abstract :
In this study, Kütahya region’s perlite with high alkali oxide content, at the present time not being assessed in the ceramic industry, was used in stoneware glazes replacing albite, orthoclase and ulexite in the starting batches. New glaze recipes were composed by adding perlite to the standard glaze composition consisting of quartz, kaolin, ulexite, albite and orthoclase. The effects of such a compositional modification on the optical parameters and melting properties of the relevant glazes fired at 1160 °C were investigated. The chemical (XRF) and mineralogical analysis (XRD) of fluxes were also determined.
