Flux In Ceramics at Arnulfo Vandiver blog

Flux In Ceramics. In ceramics, the addition of a flux lowers the melting point of the body or glaze. A flux’s primary function is to lower the melting temperature of glass formers. In particular they affect the melting. A flux is defined as. Iron is generally known as a colorant, but it also can act as a powerful flux, especially in reduction atmospheres. for making common glass or glaze, the temperature at which silica melts must be lowered, and this is accomplished by the use of a flux. flux is an essential addition to ceramic glaze due to its function of reducing the high melting point of silica and. Ferric oxide is used as a colorant, whereas 5% or more of ferrous oxide provides a powerful fluxing action. Fluxes lower the melting point of the glass formers in glazes, clay bodies, and other ceramic materials. fluxes are usually metal oxides used in glazes and ceramic bodies to lower the melting point. calcium oxide (calcia or lime) is a strong flux in stoneware glazes and is one of the most commonly used stoneware fluxes (usually with a little k20 (potash)).
