The technical properties of stone mainly refer to the ease and feasibility of its extraction and processing, including the following aspects:
1. Processability
The processability of stone refers to the difficulty of carrying out extraction, sawing, cutting, carving, grinding, and polishing processes. Stones with high strength, hardness, and toughness are generally harder to process. Stones that are brittle, coarse, interlocked with grains, rich in layered or flaky structures, or already weathered are also challenging to meet processing requirements.
2. Polishability
Polishability refers to a stone’s ability to be polished to a smooth and glossy surface. Dense, uniform, fine-grained rocks generally have excellent polishability and can be polished to a smooth, shiny surface. Rocks that are loose, porous, or have flaky structures do not polish well.
3. Drill Resistance
Drill resistance is the property that describes the ease or difficulty of drilling holes in stone. Many factors affect drill resistance, typically related to the strength and hardness of the rock. The higher the stone’s strength and hardness, the more difficult it is to drill.
