Jl. Amoros et al., ZIRCONIUM GLAZES USED IN FAST SINGLE FIRED WALL TILE MANUFACTURE .1. CRYSTALLIZATION MECHANISM, British ceramic transactions, 93(6), 1994, pp. 224-228
A study was undertaken of the crystallisation phenomena occurring duri
ng the firing of a zirconium frit of the kind used industrially to obt
ain glossy opaque glazes (in fast single firing processes). The nature
and formation sequence of the devitrifying crystalline phases were de
termined, and experiments undertaken on the mechanism of crystal nucle
ation.
