Abstract
Abstract Glaze composition comprises 45 to 75% of SioO 2 , 0.1 to below 5% of Bi 2 O 3 , 0.1 to 20% of Al 2 O 3 to 20% of B 2 O 3 , at least one of CaO, MgO, SrO, BaO or Zno in an amount of 2 to 22%, at least one of Li 2 O, Na 2 O, K 2 O in an amount of 1 to 10%, at least one of La 2 O 3 , MoO 3 or WO 3 in an amount of 0.1 to 10% and certain other optional ingredients, all percentages being percentages by weight based on the total weight of the glaze composition, the glaze composition having a firing temperature of 950° to 1250° C., and having a coefficient of thermal expansion of 50 to 100×10 -7 /°C.
