Abstract
High carbon ferro-chrome slag in the range of 10-40 wt% has
been incorporated in conventional ceramic tile composition to
study its suitability as one of the body raw materials. The tiles
were subjected to heat treatment at 950°-llOooc and the
properties were evaluated in relation to slag content at
different heating temperatures. It was found that addition of
10% slag improved the bending strength, %water absorption
and bulk density of 950°C tired tiles. The scientitic aspect
behind improvement in properties is discussed in the paper.
