DECORATIVE ZINC-CONTAINING CRYSTALLINE GLAZES FOR ORNAMENTAL CERAMICS (A REVIEW)

摘要

Published data on compositions and properties of zinc-containing crystalline glazes for ornamental ceramics are summarized. Current concepts of the mechanism of crystallization and spherulite formation in a glaze coating are discussed, The possibility of controlling the crystallization process and decorative properties of glazes by varying firing conditions and parameters is demonstrated. Examples of production of tinted crystalline glazes are described.
