In the comparative example, the mullite is replaced by alumina in the comparative example 1, the matte glaze prepared by the formula has rough glaze surface, and larger gaps exist in the matte glaze, so that the stain absorption of the glaze surface and the obvious drop of stain resistance are caused; the common frit is used for replacing the low-expansion frit in comparative example 2 and comparative example 5, and although the prepared ceramic product has good appearance flatness, no microcrystalline gap filling effect exists in the ceramic product, the glaze is easy to absorb dirt, and the degree of decline of the dirt resistance is extremely obvious; in the comparative example 3, the content of the calcium metasilicate exceeds the range, the liquid phase amount of the glaze surface is rapidly increased, so that the gloss effect is caused, the glossiness is too high, the matte effect cannot be realized, and meanwhile, the hardness is too low, so that the related requirements of ceramic products cannot be met; in comparative example 4, the content of calcium metasilicate is lower, the content of calcined talc is higher, and the magnesium yellow stone crystal and periclase on the surface layer of the glaze are further increased, so that the pits on the glaze are gradually increased, the glossiness of the glaze is reduced, and the surface of the glaze starts to absorb dirt; the quartz content in the comparative examples 6 and 7 exceeds the range, the liquid phase amount of the glaze is increased, the glossiness of the ceramic product is obviously higher, the hardness value is lower, and the production requirement standard cannot be met; moreover, the low-expansion frit content of comparative example 6 is also low, resulting in poor dirt pick-up of the ceramic product and likewise failing to meet the standards required for the production of sanitary ceramics.
Example 6
The embodiment provides a microcrystalline stain-resistant matte glaze composition, which comprises 2 parts by mass of quartz, 29 parts by mass of potassium feldspar, 8 parts by mass of nepheline feldspar, 4 parts by mass of Chaozhou water washing clay, 20 parts by mass of mullite, 25 parts by mass of calcium metasilicate, 4 parts by mass of low-expansion frit, 5 parts by mass of calcined talcum and 3 parts by mass of calcined zinc oxide.
Example 7
The embodiment provides a microcrystalline stain-resistant matte glaze composition, which comprises 7 parts by mass of quartz, 16 parts by mass of potassium feldspar, 15 parts by mass of nepheline feldspar, 4 parts by mass of Chaozhou water washing clay, 10 parts by mass of mullite, 25 parts by mass of calcium metasilicate, 10 parts by mass of low-expansion frit, 10 parts by mass of calcined talcum and 3 parts by mass of calcined zinc oxide.
Example 8
The embodiment provides a microcrystalline stain-resistant matte glaze composition, which comprises 7 parts by mass of quartz, 27 parts by mass of potassium feldspar, 17 parts by mass of nepheline feldspar, 4 parts by mass of Chaozhou water washing clay, 20 parts by mass of mullite, 15 parts by mass of calcium metasilicate, 5 parts by mass of low-expansion frit, 4 parts by mass of calcined talcum and 1 part by mass of calcined zinc oxide.
The above examples can achieve matt, stain resistance and hardness similar to those of examples 1 to 5, and are not described here again.
By combining the above examples and comparative examples, the microcrystalline matte in the scheme of the application is mainly crystallized into mullite crystals, and a large number of dense and fine crystals can be separated out by grinding the mullite crystals under a certain granularity, so that a matte effect is formed, and the microcrystalline matte has the advantages of low-temperature quick-firing quenching and the like. At the same time, magnesium Huang Danji magnesium rosapside is gradually formed by starting solid phase reaction of calcium metasilicate and calcined talcum at about 1160 ℃ to about 1190 ℃, and magnesium Huang Danji magnesium rosapside is retained by quenching under the condition that the calcium metasilicate and calcined talcum do not further participate in solid phase reaction to form more stable forms such as anorthite, and a crystal combination of the magnesium Huang Danji magnesium rosapside and mullite is formedFurther increasing the intensity and the matte effect of the glaze. For the low-expansion frit used in the method, the firing range is wide, the liquid phase state can be kept at the firing temperature in the application, so that the frit can be more easily dispersed in gaps of the three crystals to be filled, the glaze does not contain a pinhole structure, and the pollution resistance is improved under the condition of no gaps; and, the silica content in these particular low expansion frits is high, while B 2 O 3 The content is low, so that the internal reaction balance is enough, sufficient silicon dioxide in the frit can be dissolved firstly, and quartz outside the frit is hardly dissolved, so that the dissolution of crystals in the glaze can be greatly reduced, and the quantity of the precipitated crystals is ensured; meanwhile, caO in the ceramic material also participates in the reaction of forming magnesium Huang Danhe magnesium rosaniline by high-ratio calcium metasilicate and calcined talcum, so that the crystal quantity of the magnesium Huang Danhe magnesium rosaniline is increased, the crystallization quantity can be increased from multiple aspects, the microcrystalline effect can be increased, and dense microcrystals can bring the improvement of hardness, compared with the Vickers hardness of about 630-650 of common white glaze, the ceramic material can reach more than 820, the glaze is more wear-resistant, the ceramic material is more antifouling and easy to clean, no void is hidden, bacterial infection is reduced, and the matte glaze has better sanitary experience.
The present application has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, but the present application is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the present application. Furthermore, embodiments of the present application and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
