Abstract
Although the brick-tile industry is one of the important industrial establishments in Turkey, the search for raw materials that can meet the needs is one of the important problems. According to the 9th State Development Plan, it is included in the clay group, which has insufficient reserves and must be sought. There are not enough studies on the analysis of clays in our country. For this reason, the suitability of clay in the tile sector in the Muttalip region of Eskisehir province was investigated. As a result of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), particle analysis, the clay, which was found to be suitable for tiles, was slurred and inserted into Vacuum Press devices as a result of moisture analysis, and tablet tiles were obtained. The tiles obtained were baked at 80°C during the drying phase and cracks were formed on the surface. These cracks in the drying stage can be resolved by natural drying method or drying at lower temperatures, and tile, which is an industrial product with high strength, can be obtained from Muttalip clay.
