Abstract

This study investigates the use of feldspar derivatives from different regions and alternative raw materials used in ceramic porcelain production. Characterization tests performed include mineralogical analyses, XRF, XRD, dilatometer, heat microscopy, grain size distribution, water absorption and autoclave crack resistance analyses. The findings evaluate the sintering behavior, chemical composition and thermal expansion properties, identifying weak links in the manufacturing processes. In particular, mismatches in alkali oxide ratio, differences in thermal expansion and problems in melting behavior affect crack resistance. As a result, alternative raw material usage and composition improvement are suggested and various recommendations are presented to solve the problems in production.
