Anticipated Overfiring in Porcelain Tiles: Effects of the firing cycle and green bulk density

In order to reduce production costs, the ceramic tiles have been produced in ever faster firing cycles. One of the undesirable consequences of the acceleration of the firing cycles is the anticipated overfiring, when the tiles stop shrinking and start to expand before the water absorption reaches th...
