Hi everyone,
After reading John, Paul and Hank's comments on measuring fluxing power I
was reminded of a suggestion made to me by Nath Viswanath in 1999. He
wanted to know if I could get Matrix to use a system devised by Dr. Martin
Lengersdorff which uses factors & a formula for determining the fluxing
power of a glaze at various temperatures. Nath provided a chart from
Lengersdorff's book ("Praktische Berechnungen von
Massen und Glasuren") which categorizes glazes depending on the calculated
factor and the firing temperature.
Following the interest in fluxing power expressed in recent postings I
decided to place this feature in the beta version of Matrix (V4.0) which I
am currently developing so that those using Matrix could have a play around
with it and see whether there is any validity in the system.
I have also placed the 'Ionic Potential' calculation system (that Hank
posted) into Matrix for the same reason.
Those of you who have Matrix V3.02 or later and would like to play around
with the flux factor facilities in Matrix V4.0 beta, you can download the
beta software from the Matrix web site.
I must emphasize that I do not stand by the validity of these flux power
calculations. They are provided for experimentation only and will only stay
in the software if they are shown through testing to have some value.
To access the Flux Factor Calculation in Matrix enter or load a glaze into
the Recipe to Formula environment and then select the 'Calcuate Flux Factor'
item in the Recipe to Formula menu.
Regards,
Lawrence Ewing
Here is the data supplied to me by Nath which I have used in Matrix.
Calculation of FLUXFACTORS which determines the flow properties of a glaze.
ZrO2 0.32
Al2O3 0.32
SiO2 0.38 = X
TiO2 0.38
MgO 0.54
CaO 0.58
BaO 0.60
ZnO 0.60
CuO 0.60
MnO 0.60
CoO 0.60
NiO 0.60 = Y
Fe2O3 0.60
FeO 0.60
K2O 0.88
Na2O 0.88
Sb2O3 1.00
B2O3 1.00
PbO 2.00
Formula:
F = 100 mutiplied by Y and divided by (X + Y)
F = 100* Y/(X+Y)
Chart for the evaluation when F in the above formula has the following
values and looking at the temperature and the corresponding F values the
glaze type can be determined.

Calculate the Factor "F" based on the above formula and compare for the
temperature required the glaze type- matt, glossy etc.

Lawrence,
Can you give me a little more detail on the use of these factors? Do
I multiply the factor given by the molar concentration for each
constituent?
thanks
Ian

Great Lawrence! Now if you'll only get version 4 running on a
Mac........ And no, I will not turn my Mac into a PC just to be able to
run Matrix.

Hi Ian,
The data I received did not detail how I should use the factors so I tried
the calculation using mols, mol% and wgt% and it did not seem to make much
difference to the result so I multiply by mols in the Matrix test
procedures.
Cheers,
Lawrence
