Wear resistant coatings and tiles and methods of making same

摘要

The various embodiments of the present invention are directed to wear resistant coatings, tiles having the wear resistant coatings disposed thereon, and to methods of making the coatings and tiles. A wear resistant coating generally includes a strontium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic composition that is formed from a glaze. The glaze can include a crystallizing component, which itself can include strontium, aluminum, and silicon, but also comprises less than about 2 weight percent each of lithium, boron, barium, sodium, iron, titanium, zirconium, and carbon, based on a total weight of the crystallizing component.
