The effect of the addition of the fired wall tile’s scraps in floor tile
body was studied. The fired wall tile’s scraps were added to floor tile body
according to 1.96-5.66-10.71-17.85 wt. % ratios. The sintering behavior of the
floor tile was evaluated by measuring the water absorption, fired shrinkage,
dry shrinkage and fired strength. In addition, microstructure and phase
analysis were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy
dispersive x-ray (EDX) and x-ray analysis (XRD). Firing was carried out at 1189
0C for 40 min. in industrial type continuous kiln. It is seen that the addition
of 5.66 wt. % of the wall tile’s scrap to the floor tile increases the fired
strength value. In the XRD analysis, anorthite phase was observed which shows
fired strength and chemical resistance.
