Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic manufacturing technology, specifically to a method for preparing rust-colored glazed products based on purple clay. Background Technology

[0002] Rust-patterned glaze, with its unique rust-like texture, stands out in the field of ceramic decoration. Its mottled texture and natural color variations possess significant artistic value. However, the preparation of traditional rust-patterned glaze faces two major technical bottlenecks: First, its formula relies on conventional minerals, but the key minerals are not only limited in origin but also relatively expensive, making it uneconomical; second, the process requires very strict control over the firing temperature of 1200-1300℃ and the oxidation-reduction parameters within the kiln, as even slight fluctuations can easily cause glaze defects, thus increasing production difficulty and cost.

[0003] Currently, finding natural, environmentally friendly raw materials and preparation processes that can achieve unique artistic effects has become a key research focus in the industry. Purple clay, a widely available natural resource, is rich in silicate minerals and natural iron oxides, meeting the requirements of rust-patterned glazes. However, purple clay is rarely used in the preparation of glazed products, and mature technologies for transforming it into glazed products with unique appearances have not yet been developed.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose new solutions to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rust-colored glaze based on purple clay and its preparation method. By utilizing natural purple clay and through specific processes and formulas, production costs are reduced and dependence on specific mineral raw materials is decreased. At the same time, a new approach to ceramic product preparation is provided to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing rust-colored glaze based on purple clay, comprising at least the following steps:

[0007] S1: Process raw materials and select suitable raw materials for preparation;

[0008] S2: The glaze slurry is prepared by mixing the raw material additives selected in S1 with water.

[0009] S3: Apply the glaze slurry obtained from S2 to the surface of the body, dry it, and then fire it in a kiln. After firing, the porcelain body with iron rust glaze decoration is obtained.

[0010] Furthermore, S1 includes at least the following steps:

[0011] Purple soil was selected as the base material and crushed into powder.

[0012] Then, the powder is screened using a sieve, and purple soil powder with a particle size of 100 mesh is selected for later use.

[0013] Furthermore, S2 includes at least the following steps:

[0014] Add potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate and water to the 100-mesh purple soil powder obtained by screening;

[0015] The amount of potassium carbonate added is 5% to 10% of the mass of purple soil powder, the amount of calcium carbonate added is 8% to 12% of the mass of purple soil powder, and the amount of water added is 80% to 120% of the mass of purple soil powder.

[0016] The purple clay powder is thoroughly mixed with potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and water to obtain a glaze slurry.

[0017] Furthermore, the firing conditions in S3 are as follows:

[0018] Firing in an oxidizing atmosphere, the temperature is increased from room temperature to 500℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, and held at 500℃ for 60min;

[0019] Then, the temperature was increased from 500°C to 580°C at a rate of 3°C / min, and held at 580°C for 50 minutes.

[0020] Then, the temperature was increased from 500℃ to 1300℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, and held at 1300℃ for 1 hour.

[0021] Finally, cool to room temperature.

[0022] The rust-colored glaze based on purple clay was prepared using the aforementioned method for preparing rust-colored glaze based on purple clay.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] 1. This invention has the advantage of raw materials, using natural purple soil as the main raw material. The raw materials are widely available and inexpensive, reducing the dependence on traditional chemical raw materials and having good economic and environmental benefits.

[0025] 2. The glaze of this invention is unique. Through specific processes and formulas, it is possible to fire a rust-colored glaze with a unique brownish-blue glaze effect. This glaze has a unique color and excellent texture, and has high artistic and ornamental value. It can be applied to multiple fields such as decoration and handicrafts, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0026] 3. The process of the present invention is simple, the preparation process is relatively simple to operate, easy to control and implement, suitable for industrial production, and can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. Attached Figure Description
