Abstract
Different alumina characteristics of a raw material were tested in the glaze composition with a view toward overcoming difficulties in forming the intermediate layer during the fast firing process of porcelain tiles. The alumina samples, obtained by dehydrating aluminum trihydrate and grinding for various periods, had different particle size distributions. An outstanding improvement in the the quality was observed for the fine grained alumina, which was expected to dissolve rapidly in the glaze melt. Differences in the internal tensions between glaze and body were also observed. The acquired characteristics and effects of the intermediate layer formed between body and glaze in relation to the alumina grain size are discussed.
