The slate or slate changes into schist
it melts
When slate is heated, it expands due to the thermal energy causing the mineral grains to separate. This expansion can lead to cracks or breakage in the slate. Additionally, heating slate can alter its mineral composition and structure, affecting its physical and chemical properties.
Slate typically fractures along flat, thin planes due to its foliated structure, creating smooth surfaces. This type of fracture is known as "conchoidal fracture," which results in thin, sharp fragments when the slate is broken.
With a constant voltage and increase in wire length will increase the end to end resistance and therefore the current will decrease.
Slate flooring tile offers durability, a natural and unique appearance, easy maintenance, and can increase the value of your home.
Slate starts as clay. Thhrough erosion and nature, the clay can change to shale or slate. Shale happens when layers upon layers are of clay and sediment are piled together and held in place with something very very heavy. Slate is altered shale that had low heat and not very much pressure put on it. It takes thousands of years for slate to change. Slate can be any color but is mostly found in gray or black. When it is broken, it splits into layers.
The slate has no resale value for pool tables, except to someone who has badly damaged slate (from dropping it, etc.). Most landscapers use slate regularly and are equipped to handle it. If it cannot be sold as replacement pool table slate (it must be in excellent condition of course and a matched set), the major landscaper is the best customer.

If the pressure on slate increases, it can lead to metamorphism, resulting in the transformation of slate into a denser rock known as phyllite or schist, depending on the degree of pressure and temperature. This process alters the mineral composition and texture, causing the rock to develop a more pronounced foliation or layering. Additionally, the physical properties of the slate may change, making it more compact and resilient.

Most pool table slate comes from Italy and is cut and milled there for pool table use. From there, it is finished at the pool table manufacturer. To purchase new slate, you need to contact a pool manufacturer and convince them to sell you the slate. Because it is not an item they intned to sell, expect it to be very costly. In addition, you will most likely be responsible for drilling the slate yourself. A better option may be to look around for a used pool table that has the slate in excellent condition. This can be found in yard and garage sales, newspaper ads, Craig's List, and eBay. This most likely will be much cheaper than buying new slate.
