The introduction of metallic powders in traditional porcelain stoneware bodies, makes well known ceramic system a complex composite material which thermal bahavior during fast firing porcess and final mechanical properties shuold be taken under control. Innobvative porcelain stoneware tiles with a surface layer containing stainless steel particles, are currently produced by double charge technology and considering this layer as a composite material it appears evident the importance of mechanical investigactions such as Young–s modulus, frature toughness and flexural strength..
