由故宫太和殿“金砖”的传统工艺思考高强砖的现代制备技术

摘要

古时将专供宫殿等重要建筑使用的一种高质量的铺地砖称为“金砖”，因其质地坚硬，敲之若金属般铿然有声，故名“金砖”。本文主要论述了故宫太和殿“金砖”的传统工艺制备技术，其中包括原料制备、成型、干燥、烧成以及抛光打磨（雕花）工序，并指出了与之相对应的现代制备技术，为以后仿制此类高强砖提供借鉴。%"Gold bricks" were used for paving the floor of palaces and other royal buildings in ancient times, because o! its strength and fine quality.
