The aim of the work is to design and validate a characterization protocol for glazes used in the ceramic tile industry to lead manufacturers and researchers towards the formulation of glazes with enhanced wear resistance properties. The focus of the protocol is addressed to determine surface parameters that strongly depend on glaze formulation and firing temperature. This protocol includes analytical (e.g., thermal analysis, Vickers microhardness, microstructural investigation, etc.) and technological tests (i.e., impact resistance and surface abrasion resistance test), the latter carried out on ceramic tile samples where four different glazes have been applied. The characterization protocol set in this paper highlights the importance of using both analytical and technological tests for glaze investigations and provides threshold values for specific parameters useful in developing glass-ceramic glazes with enhanced mechanical and tribological properties.
这项工作的目的是设计并验证一种用于瓷砖行业釉料的表征方案，以引导制造商和研究人员配制出具有增强耐磨性能的釉料。该方案的重点是确定强烈依赖于釉料配方和烧制温度的表面参数。此方案包括分析测试（如热分析、维氏显微硬度、微观结构研究等）和技术测试（即抗冲击性和表面耐磨性测试），后者是在已施加四种不同釉料的瓷砖样品上进行的。本文设定的表征方案突出了在釉料研究中同时使用分析测试和技术测试的重要性，并为开发具有增强机械和摩擦学性能的微晶玻璃釉料时有用的特定参数提供了阈值。
