Özet:

Parallel to the developments in technology, ceramic products are used in many fields like kitchen products and decoration mainly in the field of construction. Obtaining ceramics, which consists of composition of inorganic materials, requires a number of complex processes. To obtain ceramic products, suitable raw materials in the nature (i.e. Feldspar, quartz, clay, etc. must be passed through a number of processes, which, in general terms, involves the formation of ceramic sludge, shaping it, and finally, heating-cooling processes. However, as it is already known, ceramic products have low resistance to high temperatures. In this study, the purpose was to make necessary improvement studies in production processes to convert products that are not resistant to high temperature into high temperature resistant form. In the scope of the present study, product structure and sequence of characterization tests and prescription development works that exist in our present day were carried out. In this development process, the XRF (x-ray fluorescence), XRD (x-ray diffraction), dilatometer and heat microscope, particle size distribution, water absorption, and crack resistance to autoclave analyses were carried out for the existing structure. As a result of the study, new ceramic products that have higher quality and high temperature resistance were developed.
