Uyini Umehluko Phakathi kweCalacatta Quartz neNatural Marble

I-Calacatta quartz iyitshe eliklanywe ngobunjiniyela elakhiwe cishe ngama-quartz ahlanganisiwe emvelo angama-90-93% ahlanganiswe nama-resin e-polymer kanye nemibala ephinda amaphethini ahlukile emithambo ye-Calacatta marble. Umphumela uba ubuso obunobunjalo obubonakalayo be-marble yase-Italy esezingeni eliphezulu kanye nezakhiwo zomzimba ezithuthukisiwe ze-quartz eklanywe ngobunjiniyela. I-Calacatta marble yemvelo, ngokuphambene, iyidwala eliguquguqukayo elakhiwe nge-limestone ngaphansi kokushisa okukhulu kanye nengcindezi eminyakeni eyizigidi, eliqoshwe esifundeni sase-Apuan Alps e-Italy. Ukukhanga kwalo kusekujuleni kwalo kwangempela, ukukhanya, kanye namaphethini ahlukile emithambo angenawo ama-slabs amabili. Kodwa-ke, lezi zimfanelo zemvelo ziza nobuthakathaka obungokwemvelo obubhekwa yi-quartz eklanywe ngobunjiniyela.

Ubukhulu bokuqhathanisa 1: Ukuqina kanye nokuqina

I-Quartz ilinganisa u-7 esikalini sobulukhuni be-Mohs ngenxa yokuqukethwe kwayo kwekristalu ye-quartz yemvelo engu-90-93%. Imabula ye-Natural Calacatta ilinganisa u-3-4 esikalini esifanayo. Ngenxa yalesi sikhala sobulukhuni samaphuzu angu-3-4, i-quartz imelana kakhulu nokuklwebheka, ukuqhekezwa, kanye nokugqoka kwansuku zonke. Ngokwesimo esingokoqobo, i-countertop yasekhishini eyenziwe nge-Calacatta quartz ingamelana nokusetshenziswa kwebhodi lokusika, amathuluzi ekhishi, kanye nokuhlanza kwansuku zonke ngaphandle kokushintsha okubonakalayo kwendawo. I-countertop yemabula yesitayela esifanayo sokubuka izokhipha imihuzuko, ama-etch, kanye nokugqoka kwendawo zingakapheli izinyanga zokusetshenziswa njalo.

Umehluko ekuqineni kwesakhiwo ungalinganiswa. I-quartz eklanywe ngobunjiniyela inamandla okuguquguquka angu-40-60 MPa nge-I-ASTM C880amazinga okuhlola, kuyilapho imabula yemvelo ivame ukuhlola ku-10-30 MPa kuye ngokuthi i-quarry kanye ne-block ethile ingakanani. I-Quartz inamandla cishe izikhathi ezingu-2-3 kunemabula maqondana nokumelana nokucindezeleka kokugoba.
