Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of underglaze colorant, and particularly relates to a magnesium reinforced porcelain black underglaze colorant and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Magnesium reinforced porcelain is a high-end daily-use porcelain. According to the national standard, the content of magnesium oxide in the porcelain is required to be greater than or equal to 22%.

[0003] The magnesium reinforced porcelain is mainly made of talc and feldspar, and is fired at 1280±5 DEG C to form porcelain. The magnesium reinforced porcelain belongs to high-temperature fired porcelain, has a dense structure, a water absorption rate of less than or equal to 0.25%, and a strength higher than that of general white porcelain. Since the magnesium reinforced porcelain is put into production, it has been used as decoration production in the form of white body or white body with decals. With the improvement of people's living standards and aesthetic level, and the requirement for green and healthy daily-use ceramic products, the demand for high-grade underglaze color series of magnesium reinforced porcelain is very large, but no domestic manufacturer can produce the same.

[0004] At present, in ceramic decoration, black color materials are mainly realized through the compounding of transition metal oxides (such as cobalt, iron, chromium, manganese, etc.) or spinel structure. There are the following several common types:

[0005] (1) Cobalt-iron-chromium-based spinel black, chemical formula is CoFeCrO4. The colorant has good high-temperature stability and can resist 1200-1300 DEG C, and is commonly used in underglaze color or high-temperature glaze. The colorant is obtained by compounding Co 2+ (blue), Fe 3+ (red-brown), and Cr 3+ (green) to absorb light spectrum and present pure black color. However, the colorant is easily oxidized and discolored (such as Co 2+ → Co 3+ , color is blue-gray) in overglaze color baking (830-860 DEG C).

[0006] (2) Iron-chromium-manganese black, chemical formula is FeCrMnO4. The colorant is a cobalt-free black formula and has low cost. The colorant is obtained by mixing valence states of Fe 3+ , Cr 3+ , and Mn 3+ to absorb visible light and present color. However, the colorant is easily affected by atmosphere at high temperature, and the presented black color is a little reddish brown black color. The colorant is easily reacted with flux to generate brown color (Fe2O3) or green color (Cr2O3) in overglaze color baking.

[0007] (3) Nickel-iron-chromium black, chemical formula is Ni(Fe,Cr)2O4. The colorant uses nickel to replace cobalt, has good stability, and presents cold black color. However, the nickel in the colorant may be harmful to human body.

[0008] (4) Copper-chromium black, chemical formula CuCr204(copper chromite black), this colorant has low cost, but is sensitive to firing atmosphere and unstable in color (Cu 2+ → Cu + , red color).

[0009] At present, black underglaze color produced on the market is realized on ordinary feldspar porcelain, which is mainly composed of feldspar, quartz and kaolin. These raw materials are relatively stable in color development for black colorants. The cobalt-iron-chromium spinel black described above belongs to spinel type colorant, which has very compact structure and small solubility in glaze, thus can resist high temperature and has bright color. The composition of this colorant is CoFe204, CoCr204, which can absorb visible light through Co 2+ , Fe 3+ , Cr 3+ plasma, and present pure black color. This colorant is stable at high temperature, and cobalt black can exist stably in underglaze color (oxidation firing, 1100-1130℃).

[0010] However, the main component of magnesia reinforced porcelain body is talc, and the content of magnesium oxide is ≥22%. Magnesium oxide has strong alkalinity, which has great influence on the color development of black colorants.

[0011] Magnesia reinforced porcelain has high porcelain forming temperature, and the firing temperature is 1280±5℃. The body is easy to deform, and needs to be fired in a simulated mold kiln. Therefore, the production process adopted is high-temperature body firing and low-temperature glazing, and the glazing temperature is 1100-1130℃. Therefore, the transparent glaze for magnesia reinforced porcelain is a low-temperature glaze. In order to adapt to the low-temperature glazing temperature and the magnesia reinforced porcelain body, boracic acid with large surface tension at high temperature melting and strong fluxing alkali compounds such as zinc and lithium are added in the glaze formula. Due to the high magnesium content of magnesia reinforced porcelain, the addition of glaze with boracic acid as the main flux can make the glaze surface of the body flat, smooth and without dull phenomenon at the edge. The low initial melting point of this glaze will have a certain melting on the surface during the overglaze firing (830-860℃), and the boron in the glaze is easy to react with cobalt in the black colorant, resulting in the phenomenon of color change.

[0012] At the same time, the overglaze firing (830-860℃) is easy to cause color change due to different overglaze firing processes.

[0013] (1) Change of valence state of cobalt ion

[0014] Oxidation reaction: overglaze firing is mostly in oxidizing atmosphere, Co 2+ may be oxidized to Co 3+ (such as Co2O3), resulting in color deviation to blue-gray.

[0015] (2) Insufficient temperature or short time of overglaze firing, spinel structure is not completely formed, and the color is not pure.

[0016] (3) Influence of transparent glaze with boric anhydride as main flux on magnesia reinforced porcelain.

[0017] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a black underglaze colorant which is suitable for both magnesia reinforced porcelain body and transparent glaze with boric anhydride as main flux and for black underglaze decoration process. SUMMARY

[0018] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a black underglaze colorant for magnesia reinforced porcelain, a preparation method and application thereof. The black underglaze colorant for magnesia reinforced porcelain has the advantages of pure color, bright color and high saturation, and the color is not blue after decoration, and the glaze surface is free of orange color and pinholes, which fills the gap in the production of black underglaze color for magnesia reinforced porcelain at home and abroad and meets the demand of people for high-grade black underglaze color series products.

[0054] Preferably, the temperature of step (3) is 1100-1130℃, the time is 10-12h, and the atmosphere is oxidation atmosphere, O2 concentration is 3%-5%.

[0055] The present invention provides a magnesium reinforced porcelain overglaze color, which is obtained by applying overglaze and baking the above-mentioned magnesium reinforced porcelain black underglaze color or the magnesium reinforced porcelain black underglaze color prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0056] Preferably, the baking temperature is 830-860°C, the baking time is 4-6 hours, and the baking atmosphere is a weak oxidizing atmosphere or a neutral atmosphere, wherein the O2 concentration of the weak oxidizing atmosphere is >1% and ≤3%, and the CO is 0; the O2 concentration of the neutral atmosphere is 0.5%-1%, and the CO is 0.

[0057] The present invention adjusts the formula of the black underglaze colorant: because the cobalt raw material has good color development and strong molecular activity, it can diffuse into the glaze layer and easily react chemically with other substances. In addition, if the colorant and the flux are not matched, the calcium, magnesium, etc. in the raw material will react with the cobalt to form light-colored compounds (such as CoAl2O4, blue). The adjustment plan is to increase the high-temperature viscosity of the flux so that the cobalt ions are wrapped and isolated by the flux, forming a stable crystalline phase with the flux. Excessive elements such as calcium and magnesium are not added to the flux to avoid reaction with cobalt. In addition, the black underglaze colorant must also be compatible with the expansion coefficient and chemical properties of the glaze.

[0058] The black underglaze colorant prepared by the present invention is well suited for use as a top glaze for magnesium-reinforced porcelain bodies and low-temperature frit glazes with boron trioxide as the primary flux. The resulting black underglaze colored products not only have a rich, pure color, but also exhibit no bluish bleaching after baking, achieving a pass rate of 95%. The potassium feldspar, sodium feldspar, kaolin, and calcite in the black underglaze colorant effectively help the black colorant melt during baking, completely forming a stable crystalline phase with the cobalt ions in the black colorant, ensuring that no free cobalt ions are precipitated during subsequent baking. Therefore, even though the top glaze melts to a certain extent during baking, no excess cobalt ions react with it, resulting in a blue color. Furthermore, the temperature and atmosphere are controlled during the baking process, resulting in a pass rate exceeding 95%.

[0059] Furthermore, the introduction of potassium feldspar with high potassium content is to better reduce the melting temperature of the flux during low-temperature baking, better melt the black colorant, and make the colorant better adsorbed on the blank.

[0060] Furthermore, the introduction of albite also plays a fluxing role, and can also increase the expansion coefficient of the colorant, so that the colorant and the blank are better combined.

[0061] Furthermore, the introduction of quartz can form a stable crystal phase with potassium and sodium.

[0062] Furthermore, the introduction of calcite can react quickly with the quartz in the flux, thereby reducing the melting temperature of the flux and better promoting black color.

[0063] Further, the introduction of kaolin can effectively promote the adsorption of black colorant on the body, increase the high-temperature viscosity of flux, and facilitate better wrapping of cobalt in the black colorant, thereby inhibiting the activity of cobalt.

[0064] The colorant is cobalt black colorant because the colorant belongs to cobalt-iron-chromium-based spinel type colorant, the structure of which is very compact, and the solubility in glaze is very small, so it can resist high temperature and has bright color.

[0065] Further, methyl cellulose is introduced because the colorant in the underglaze colorant is abundant and has low specific gravity, which leads to easy precipitation of the colorant. The addition of methyl cellulose can play a suspending role, and also can improve the viscosity and dry strength of the colorant, which is beneficial to production operation. However, too much methyl cellulose cannot be added, otherwise it will cause the colorant to be very thick, resulting in uneven color spraying defects.

[0066] The present application optimizes the colorant formula and controls the firing process: high-stability spinel structure colorant (such as CoFeCrO4) is used to reduce the risk of oxidation. In addition, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is added to stabilize the valence state of cobalt ions when the colorant is made. The firing temperature is controlled between 830-860℃ to ensure that the spinel structure is fully formed. A weak oxidation or neutral atmosphere is used during firing to avoid strong oxidation leading to Co 2+ oxidation to Co 3+ (such as Co2O3), which causes the color to deviate to blue-gray.

[0067] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0068] The black underglaze colorant prepared by the present application can be well applied to magnesium reinforced porcelain body and low-temperature frit glaze surface glaze. The black underglaze color product obtained not only has full and pure color, but also does not appear blue drift after firing, and the glaze surface is free of orange color and pinholes.

[0126] From the above table, it can be seen that the potassium feldspar, sodium feldspar, calcite, quartz, kaolin, methyl cellulose, cobalt black colorant in examples Al-A5, although the amount added is different, but are in the range of potassium feldspar 12-15%, sodium feldspar 9-15%, calcite 9-12%, quartz 11-15%, kaolin 16-20%, methyl cellulose 1-1.2%, cobalt black colorant 31-34%, the glaze obtained is good, and the firing flower is not blue, which shows that the formula range is reasonable.

[0127] Examples Bl-B7

[0128] The preparation of black underglaze colorant, the specific added raw materials are shown in Table 3.

[0129] Among them, the chemical composition of potassium feldspar is SiO2: 67%, Al2O3: 17%, CaO: 0.22%, K2O: 11.2%, Na2O: 2.7%, and the balance is other components. The chemical composition of kaolin is SiO2: 42.7%, Al2O3: 37.2%, CaO: 3.27%, K2O: 0.14%, and the balance is other components. The chemical composition of cobalt black colorant is 20% Co3O4, 35% Fe2O3, 40% Cr2O3, 5% Al2O3.

[0130] The raw materials are weighed according to the ratio, put into the ball mill, add water, the ratio of material to water is 100:160, ball mill for 15h, after ball milling to 325 mesh screen residue less than 0.05%, out of the mill, pass through 150 mesh screen, finally adjust the specific gravity to 1.35g / ml, flow rate 48s / 100ml.

[0131] An application method using the above prepared black underglaze colorant, comprising the following steps:

[0132] The same as examples Al-A5.

[0133] Table 3: Ratio of black underglaze colorant

[0134]

[0135] Table 4: Glaze firing and firing glaze results of examples Bl-B7

[0136]

[0137] From the above table, it can be seen that in example Bl, the amount of potassium feldspar added is not in the formula range, the amount is reduced, and the rest of the components are in the normal range. From the glaze effect, pinholes appear, mainly due to the lack of potassium feldspar, which changes the reaction degree with other components, resulting in poor glaze.

[0138] In Example B2, the addition amount of sodium feldspar is not in the formula range, and the rest of the ingredients are in the normal range. The same will also cause the chemical reaction of this formula to be different, and it will not achieve the effect of common melting, resulting in pinholes on the glaze surface.

[0139] In Example B3, the addition of calcite is not in the formula range, and the rest of the ingredients are in the formula range. Due to the addition of calcite, it can have a strong fluxing effect. If the addition amount is small, it will cause the flux temperature to be too high, resulting in pinhole defects on the glaze surface.

[0140] In Example B4, the addition of quartz is not in the formula range, and the rest of the ingredients are in the formula range. If the addition of quartz is reduced, it will cause the high-temperature viscosity of the flux to decrease, resulting in a low flux temperature, which can easily cause orange glaze and pinhole defects on the glaze surface.

[0141] In Example B5, the addition amount of kaolin is not in the formula range, and the rest of the ingredients are in the formula range. The reduction of kaolin will cause the corresponding reduction of aluminum oxide in the formula. The black pigment cannot form a stable crystal structure with the flux, and free cobalt ions will appear, resulting in a blue shift in the firing pattern.

[0142] In Example B6, although the amount of fluxing agent is in the formula range, the addition of cobalt black pigment is less than the normal range. Therefore, the black color of the glaze is a little gray, not pure enough.

[0143] In Example B7, the amount of fluxing agent is also in the formula range, but the addition of cobalt black pigment is more than the normal range. Although the black color of the glaze is purer, a small part of the black pigment does not form a stable crystal structure with the flux, causing free cobalt ions to precipitate. Therefore, when firing, a blue shift defect will occur.

[0144] Examples C1-C5

[0145] The preparation of the black glaze under-color agent is shown in Table 5.

[0146] Among them, the chemical composition of potassium feldspar is SiO2: 67%, Al2O3: 17%, CaO: 0.22%, K2O: 11.2%, Na2O: 2.7%, and the balance is other components. The chemical composition of kaolin is SiO2: 42.7%, Al2O3: 37.2%, CaO: 3.27%, K2O: 0.14%, and the balance is other components. The chemical composition of cobalt black pigment is 20% Co3O4, 35% Fe2O3, 40% Cr2O3, and 5% Al2O3.

[0147] Weigh the raw materials according to the ratio, put them into the ball mill, add water, the ratio of material to water is 100:160, and the ball milling time is 15 hours. After ball milling until the residue on the 325 mesh sieve is less than 0.05%, remove from the mill, pass through a 150 mesh sieve, and finally adjust the specific gravity to 1.35g / ml, with a flow rate of 48s / 100ml.

[0148] A method for applying the black underglaze colorant prepared above comprises the following steps:

[0149] Same as Examples A1-A5.

[0150] Table 5: Proportions of black underglaze colorants

[0151]

[0152] Table 6: Glaze firing and firing results of Examples C1-C5

[0153]

[0154]

[0155] As shown in the table above, in Example C1, the entire amount of albite was replaced by potassium feldspar. Although both feldspars can reduce the refractoriness of the flux and lower its melting temperature, potassium feldspar has a higher melting point and a lower expansion coefficient than albite. The complete introduction of potassium feldspar results in a higher flux temperature in the black underglaze colorant, preventing it from properly melting the black pigment, resulting in pinholes in the glaze surface. Furthermore, the colorant's expansion coefficient is also lower, affecting the stability of the black underglaze colorant's bond with the body.

[0156] In Example C2, potassium feldspar is completely replaced with albite. Because albite has a lower melting point than potassium feldspar, the melting point of the black colorant is also low, making it prone to overheating during baking, resulting in an orange tint and pinholes on the glaze surface. A reasonable ratio of potassium feldspar to albite in the glaze formula lowers the eutectic temperature. Therefore, incorporating both into the glaze formula produces better results than using either alone.

[0157] In Example C3, adding all the calcite to the potassium feldspar results in a highly refractory flux, making it ineffective at melting the black pigment. This is primarily because calcite reacts with quartz, acting as a strong flux. Therefore, omitting calcite from the flux results in orange glaze defects and pinholes.

[0158] In Example C4, all the quartz is added to kaolin. Since kaolin has a high alumina content, adding too much kaolin will greatly increase the refractoriness of the flux, resulting in the black colorant not being able to melt well during baking, resulting in no color development and a milky white color.

[0159] In Example C5, the amount of kaolin is added to quartz entirely, although the refractoriness of the colorant is reduced, but there is no excessive aluminum oxide to generate stable crystal phase with cobalt in black colorant, so that black underglaze color is prone to appear drift phenomenon when firing.

[0173] The preparation of black underglaze colorant, the specific added raw materials are 14% potassium feldspar, 15% sodium feldspar, 9% calcite, 12% quartz, 17% kaolin, 1% methyl cellulose, and 32% cobalt-free black material.

[0175] The specific preparation method of the black underglaze colorant in the above-mentioned Example D and Comparative Examples D1-D4 is as follows:

[0176] The raw materials are weighed according to the ratio, put into a ball mill, add water, the ratio of material to water is 100:160, ball mill for 15h, after ball milling to 325 mesh sieve residue less than 0.05%, discharge, pass through 150 mesh sieve, finally adjust the specific gravity to 1.35g / ml, flow rate 48s / 100ml.

[0177] An application method using the black underglaze colorant prepared above, comprising the following steps:

[0178] The same as examples A1-A5.

[0179] The glaze firing and baking glaze surface effects of examples D and comparative examples D1-D4 are compared, as shown in table 7:

[0180] Table 7: Comparison of glaze firing and baking glaze surface of examples D and comparative examples D1-D4

[0181] Item Example D Comparative Example D1 Comparative Example D2 Comparative Example D3 Comparative Example D4 Orange color of overfired glaze None Yes Yes None Yes Pinholes in overfired glaze None Yes Yes None Yes Color of overfired glaze Good Bad Bad Good Reddish black color Did overfired glaze bloom? None None None Yes None

[0182] From the above table, it can be seen from the comparison of comparative example D1 and example D that ordinary potassium feldspar is used in comparative example D1, the rest of the raw materials are unchanged, the potassium oxide content in ordinary potassium feldspar is only 8.6%, and the silicon dioxide is increased, so the fluxing effect of ordinary potassium feldspar is relatively poor, and the same amount of addition will increase the refractoriness of the fluxing agent, which cannot melt the black pigment inside well, and pinholes and orange glaze phenomenon are easy to appear after glazing.

[0183] From the comparison of comparative example D2 and example D, it can be seen that fused quartz is used in comparative example D2, because fused quartz is amorphous and has no crystal transformation, the thermal expansion coefficient is lower than that of ordinary quartz, which is easy to cause poor combination of the colorant with the body during baking, and there is a risk of partial peeling. At the same time, pinholes and orange glaze phenomenon also appear after glazing.

[0184] From the comparison of comparative example D3 and example D, it can be seen that the kaolin used in comparative example D3 is kaolin with low aluminum content, and the rest of the raw materials are unchanged. The low aluminum content makes the cobalt in the cobalt black pigment not completely form stable crystal phase, which will cause free cobalt to precipitate, resulting in defects of baking glaze.

[0185] From the comparison of comparative example D4 and example D, it can be seen that the pigment used in comparative example D4 is a cobalt-free black pigment, and the rest of the raw materials are unchanged. Although there is no defect in the glaze, the color is not pure black, but red, which is not pure black.

The chemical composition of the cobalt black pigment is 25% Co3O4, 35% Fe2O3, 35% Cr2O3, and 5% Al2O3.

[0195] Example E4

[0196] The black underglaze colorant is prepared by adding the following raw materials: potassium feldspar 14%, sodium feldspar 15%, calcite 9%, quartz 12%, kaolin 17%, methyl cellulose 1%, and cobalt black pigment 32%.

[0197] The chemical composition of the potassium feldspar is SiO2: 67%, Al2O3: 17%, CaO: 0.22%, K2O: 11.2%, Na2O: 2.7%, and the rest is other components. The chemical composition of the kaolin is SiO2: 42.7%, Al2O3: 37.2%, CaO: 3.27%, K2O: 0.14%, and the rest is other components. The chemical composition of the cobalt black pigment is 26% Co3O4, 34% Fe2O3, 35% Cr2O3, and 5% Al2O3.

[0198] In the present application, the preparation of the cobalt black pigment is as follows: first, the cobalt, iron, chromium oxides and aluminum oxide are weighed according to the formula, and then they are mixed uniformly by dry method and calcined (solid phase reaction). The calcination temperature is 1350°C, and the calcination time is 6h. The calcination atmosphere is mainly oxygen (the O2 concentration in the kiln is 3%-5%), and the spinel phase (such as CoFeCrO4) is formed. Then, the calcined block is crushed, wet ground to micron level (D50<1μm) to ensure the dispersion of the pigment, and then it is pickled to remove unreacted impurities, and finally it is dried (100-120°C).

[0199] The specific preparation method of the black underglaze colorant in the above examples E1-E4 is as follows:

[0200] The raw materials are weighed according to the proportion, put into a ball mill, and water is added. The ratio of material to water is 100:160, and the ball milling time is 15h. After ball milling to less than 0.05% on a 325 mesh sieve, the material is discharged, sieved through a 150 mesh sieve, and finally the specific gravity is adjusted to 1.35g / ml, and the flow rate is 48s / 100ml.

[0201] An application method of using the above prepared black underglaze colorant, comprising the following steps:

[0202] The same as examples A1-A5.

[0203] The glazing and baking glaze surface effects of examples E1-E4 are compared, as shown in Table 8:

[0204] Table 8: Comparison of glazing and baking glaze surface of examples E1-E4

[0205] Item Example E1 Example E2 Example E3 Example E4 Orange color of overfired glaze None None None None Pinholes in overfired glaze None None None None Color of overfired glaze Good Good Redish, grayish greenish color Good Did overfired glaze bloom? None None None Yes

[0206] As can be seen from the above table, in examples E1-E4, only the proportion of each component in the cobalt black pigment is changed, and the rest of the fluxing agent remains unchanged. After glazing, the glaze surface is very good.

[0207] In examples E1 and E2, the amount of cobalt added in the cobalt black pigment is within the normal range (15-25% Co3O4), so the color development is good and the pure black is shown, and the baking glaze is not bleached.

[0208] In example E3, the cobalt addition is less than the normal range (15-25% Co3O4) by one point, although the glaze is not bleached, the color is slightly reddish, which looks impure black. Because of the lack of cobalt, the content of iron and chromium will increase accordingly. Iron and chromium will produce iron red and chromium green under the magnesia reinforced porcelain enamel, so the color tone will look reddish and grayish green.

[0209] In example E4, the cobalt black material has a little more cobalt oxide than the normal range, but the glaze has been bleached. Because the increase of cobalt ions, the spinel structure is unstable, and when the glaze is fired, the excess cobalt ions will react with part of the molten glaze, causing the glaze to be bleached.

[0210] Therefore, the selection of cobalt black material is very important in the magnesia reinforced porcelain black glaze, which is related to the purity of the glaze color and whether the glaze is compatible with the glaze to cause bleaching defects.

[0211] The above is a specific description of the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present application. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
