| Abstract |
| Firing process, which is highly difficult part to control, is the most important step in
the ceramic manufacturing process. In this study, manufacturing technology and
statistical methods were used together to produce low-cost and high-quality products
at the optimum sintering temperature and sintering time. Physio-mechanical properties
of ceramic tiles manufactured on the industrial scale were optimized using Central
Composite Design of Response Surface Method. The regression coefficients of the
obtained models (R2) were evaluated according to the variance analysis (95%
confidence level) results and determined as 97.70% for flexural strength, 98.50% for
water absorption, and 97.90% for fired shrinkage. The standard deviation of flexural
strength, water absorption, and firing shrinkage values, calculated according to the
theoretical results, were 1.397%, 0.00265% and 0.0255%, respectively. The samples
with desired physical properties were obtained with the developed models by examining
the interactions of variables at the industrial conditions.
