A bstract Diopside was substituted for both talc and feldspar in a typical wall‐tile body. It was found to lower the fusion temperature and to lower thermal expansion when compared with talc and to raise thermal expansion when compared with feldspar. Its effects on firing shrinkage, fired absorption, and moisture expansion were somewhat similar to those of talc.
