Technical effects on the ceramic surface resulting from variations in weight ratios

Abstract

The abstract

This research focuses on studying the technical effects on the ceramic surface resulting from variations in weight ratios. The aim of the study was to identify the technical effects on ceramic surfaces caused by changes in weight ratios

Chapter Two focuses on the theoretical framework, which is divided into four sections. The first section addresses the study of the concept of technique, while the second section is concerned with the study of frit glaze. The third section deals with coloring stain, and the fourth section focuses on matt glaze.

Chapter Three covers the research procedures, while Chapter Four presents and discusses the results. The main conclusions drawn from the study are as follows:

1.       When coloring pigments constitute part of the main component of the glaze formulation at a ratio of 50%, a matt glaze is produced. The matting effect results from disturbances in the reflected light rays, causing them to interfere either near the surface or after being reflected a certain distance from it, which leads to their scattering and reduced intensity due to surface roughness and variations in surface topography in relation to light reflection.

2.       Suspended materials in the molten glaze contribute to matting, as they cause scattering and disturbance of the reflected light due to the interference of light rays either near the surface or after being reflected a certain distance from it. This leads to scattering and reduced intensity.

3.       Surface roughness formed on the glaze increases light scattering and consequently reduces its concentration.
