Abstract
An alternative natural marble (such as Thassoss marble, Greek) was synthesized and produced using natural raw materials, namely silica sand, magnesite, limestone, phosphate and fluorspar. A ceramization casting of glass powder was employed to produce a similar tile to the common natural marble with outstanding properties. Different batch compositions subjected to mixing, melting, quenching, pulverizing, casting and sintering were employed. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy were used for characterization. The physical and mechanical properties of the produced synthetic samples were investigated. These properties include density, water absorption, porosity, hardness, compression and flexural strength. Some of these properties of synthetic marble are better than the common tile similar to marble or granite.
