Investigation on the Use of a Brick Clay in the Floor Tile Body

In this study, brick clay taken from Afyon region was used instead of clay which is used in the floor tile body with increasing amounts and technical properties of the obtained compositions were investigated by some tests applied on the green and fired samples. First of all, chemical composition and physical properties of brick clay and replacement clay were determined. After that, body compositions were prepared and ground in the laboratory condition. These ground samples were shaped as pill and strip by plastic method. Dried samples were fired under the industrial firing condition at 1010, 1135 and 1185 °C. At the end of this study, it was concluded that using of brick clay in the body increased the firing shrinkage, decreased water absorption and bending strength of samples and changed colour of samples after firing negatively.
