Development Of Wall-Covering Glass-Ceramics From Raw Materials

The possibility of producing wall-covering glass-ceramic materials from raw materials by crystallisation of the glass is demonstrated. Glass-ceramics based on wollastonite and diopside with various ratios were designed from raw materials such as limestone and dolomite. The phases crystallised were examined by X-ray analysis. Thermal expansion and mechanical properties such as bending strength and microhardness for glasses and glass-ceramics were measured.
