Popis: Inexpensive sintered glass-ceramic glaze was prepared from a mixture of Egyptian trachyte with either limestone or magnesite. A represented trachyte rock was pulverized to powder (3 in case of the trachyte-limestone and 2.36 and 2.64 g/cm3 in case of the trachyte-magnesite. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the hardness of the sintered glass-ceramic were in the range of 6.2-8.5 × 10−6 °C−1 and 440-563 GPa respectively. However, the CTE values decreased in case of trachyte-limestone whereas the hardness values were high in case of trachyte-magnesite. The present glass-ceramic samples had porcelain nature and could be used in cladding of wall and floor.
