Abstract

Semi-vitreous bodies, with flexural strength of ~78 MPa and water absorption of ~0.4 % for the optimal maturated specimens, were successfully prepared with solid solutions of pegmatite and nepheline syenite, respectively, for the full dense (P) and relatively porous composition (G). Despite the similarity on the bulk chemical composition of the two formulations, it was found that their thermal behaviors were significantly affected by the action of CaO on the flux system considered leading to earlier vitrification of P specimens with high flexural strength as from 1,175 C. Conversely, the flexural strength of G specimens increases progressively with soaking time and temperature development up to 1,225 C. The positive action of 5 mass% of CaO in the vitrification range of pegmatite solution, the relative low temperature of maturation of the semi-vitreous matrices, and the results of water absorption allow us to describe the formulations studied to offer promising potential in the production of sustainable and low-cost porcelainized stoneware. The high strength of P at relatively low temperature could be explained by the matrix-strengthening theory, while the extent of crystallization of G could be ascribed to the mullite theory. © 2013 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.
