Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of enamel glaze technology, and more specifically to an enamel wet-process two-spray one-fire base glaze and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Enameled products are products made by coating a metal blank with enamel glaze, and are commonly referred to simply as enamel. They possess the mechanical strength of metal and the physicochemical properties of enamel, and are decorative. Enameled products are typically categorized by use into daily-use enamel, sanitary enamel, industrial enamel, architectural enamel, medical enamel, artistic enamel, and special enamel.

[0003] Currently, there are basically two methods for applying a base coat to enamel products on the market: electrostatic dry two-spray-one-fire base coat and wet glaze base coat. Electrostatic dry two-spray-one-fire base coat has high production efficiency, low labor intensity, and a relatively high degree of automation; however, it has high material costs, some colors are prone to showing through to reveal the base coat, and it produces a lot of dust, seriously affecting the health of operators. Furthermore, with the diversification of colors and shapes of decorative enamel plates, some colors obtained using the electrostatic dry two-spray-one-fire base coat can no longer meet customer needs, necessitating the use of wet glaze base coat to produce the corresponding color effects.

[0004] Currently, most wet-process base glaze coatings on the market are applied using a two-spray, two-fire method. Specifically, the base glaze is first sprayed onto a steel plate, fired, and cooled, then the top glaze is sprayed on and fired again. However, this method requires two sprayings and two firings at high temperatures, severely impacting production efficiency and increasing costs.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the production efficiency of wet-process base glaze application while saving costs is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a wet-process two-spray one-fire base glaze for enamel and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems of high firing temperature of enamel glaze, complex base-applying process, low production efficiency, and easy exposure of black through the base in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A wet-process, two-spray, one-fire base glaze for enamel comprises the following raw materials in weight percentages: SiO2 30%-50%, B2O3 10%-20%, Al2O3 3%-8%, CaO 1%-5%, TiO2 2%-8%, BaO 1%-5%, Na2O 10%-20%, K2O 3%-8%, MgO 0.5%-1.0%, CaF2 3%-8%, ZnO 1%-4%, CoO 0.2%-0.8%, CuO 0.3%-1.0%, NiO 0.3%-1.0%, and MnO2 0.2%-0.8%.

[0009] The preferred composition is: SiO2 43.27%, B2O3 14.30%, Al2O3 3.61%, CaO 1.93%, TiO2 3.44%, BaO 1.78%, Na2O 18.49%, K2O 4.28%, MgO 0.73%, CaF2 4.59%, ZnO 1.15%, CoO 0.57%, CuO 0.57%, NiO 0.72%, and MnO 0.57%.

[0012] Alternatively, preferably: SiO2 43.27%, B2O3 18%, Al2O3 3.61%, CaO 1.93%, TiO2 3.44%, BaO 1.78%, Na2O 14.79%, K2O 4.28%, MgO 0.73%, CaF2 4.59%, ZnO 1.15%, CoO 0.57%, CuO 0.57%, NiO 0.72%, and MnO2 0.57%.

[0013] Alternatively, preferably: SiO2 43.27%, B2O3 14.3%, Al2O3 3.61%, CaO 1.93%, TiO2 6%, BaO 1.78%, Na2O 15.93%, K2O 4.28%, MgO 0.73%, CaF2 4.59%, ZnO

[0014] 1.15%, CoO 0.57%, CuO 0.57%, NiO 0.72% and MnO20.57%.

[0015] Alternatively, preferably: SiO2 43.27%, B2O3 12.89%, Al2O3 3.61%, CaO 1.93%, TiO2 3.44%, BaO 1.78%, Na2O 18.49%, K2O 4.28%, MgO 0.73%, CaF2 6%, ZnO 1.15%, CoO 0.57%, CuO 0.57%, NiO 0.72%, and MnO 0.57%.

[0017] Alternatively, preferably: SiO2 43.27%, B2O3 14.3%, Al2O3 3.61%, CaO 1.93%, TiO2 3.44%, BaO 1.78%, Na2O 18.64%, K2O 4.28%, MgO 0.73%, CaF2 4.59%, ZnO 1.15%, CoO 0.57%, CuO 0.57%, NiO 0.57%, and MnO2 0.57%.

[0018] In this invention, SiO2 is the main component of the glaze and the primary glass network former. The higher the SiO2 content in the glaze, the higher the firing temperature. Within a certain range, increasing the SiO2 content can improve the mechanical strength and hardness of the glaze, as well as its chemical and thermal stability.

[0019] B2O3 is not only a solvent for porcelain glaze but also a network former, promoting the formation of the glassy phase at low temperatures. Increasing the B2O3 content enhances the mechanical strength and abrasion resistance of the porcelain glaze.

[0020] Al2O3 is an intermediate oxide that can combine not only with SiO2 but also with basic oxides. It can not only improve the vitrification ability of porcelain glaze but also inhibit crystallization, significantly improve the elasticity, hardness, and chemical stability of the glaze, and enhance its resistance to chemical corrosion.

[0021] CaO is the main solvent in glazes. It can reduce the viscosity of the glaze melt, improve the fluidity and gloss of the glaze, reduce the coefficient of expansion of the glaze, and improve the mechanical strength of the porcelain glaze.

[0022] TiO2 can enhance the opacity, acid resistance, and gloss of porcelain glaze. Due to its good opacity, only a thin layer of glaze needs to be applied, resulting in a porcelain layer with high thermal stability, impact resistance, and flexural strength.

[0023] BaO is a flux. Ba has the largest ionic radius and the strongest basicity among alkali metals. It is also the best flux among alkali metal oxides and can improve the resistance of glazes to organic acid corrosion.

[0024] Na2O and K2O are strong fluxing agents for glazes, which can significantly reduce the melting temperature and high-temperature viscosity of the glaze, increase the refractive index of the glaze, and thus improve the gloss of the glaze surface.

[0025] MgO is also a flux in glazes. It can not only reduce the viscosity of the melt, but also reduce the coefficient of expansion of the glaze and reduce glaze cracking.

[0026] CaF2 is a strong co-solvent that can reduce the high-temperature viscosity of glazes during melting, and also has a significant promoting effect on adhesion.

[0027] ZnO can act as a good flux over a wide range of applications, reducing the coefficient of expansion of the glaze and improving its gloss. However, excessive use can cause the glaze to crystallize, resulting in a loss of transparency.

[0028] CoO, CuO, NiO, and MnO2 are adhesives. These four adhesives interact with each other, reacting with iron to allow the enamel to penetrate the steel plate surface. This promotes the enamel's wetting of the steel plate surface at high temperatures, facilitates the dissolution of iron and iron oxide, controls the oxidation conditions at the interface, and helps the enamel layer form a more uniform bubble structure, resulting in good adhesion between the base enamel and the steel plate.

[0029] A method for preparing a wet-process two-spray one-fire base glaze for enamel includes the following steps: weighing each raw material according to the mass percentage of the above-mentioned wet-process two-spray one-fire base glaze for enamel, mixing them evenly, and thus obtaining the wet-process two-spray one-fire base glaze for enamel.

[0030] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] This invention utilizes the overall proportions of the above components, taking advantage of the strong fluxing effect of Na2O and K2O, combined with the fluxing effect of CaF2, and the promoting effect of CoO, CuO, NiO and MnO2 to achieve close adhesion and mutual combination. Furthermore, through interaction with other components, the resulting wet-process base glaze can be sprayed onto a steel plate and then immediately coated with a wet-process top glaze. After drying, it is fired once to form the base. The process is simple, with high production efficiency and low production cost. Moreover, the firing temperature is low, which can achieve good adhesion at low temperatures. The fired glaze surface is smooth and delicate, and after the top glaze is applied, it does not show the base or black spots. The porcelain surface is free of pinholes, resulting in high-quality porcelain. Detailed Implementation
