Stain (yellow/orange)

Yellows/Oranges (CrSbTi)

Chrome-antimony-titanium oranges are based on mixtures of antimony oxide and titania in combination with small quantities of chrome oxide.

Color Range
-----------
Orange yellow to buff or fawn.

Produce ivory shades at reduced concentrations.

Specific Gravity: 4.0 approximately.

Stability/Kiln Atmosphere
-------------------------
Good in all types of bodies for firing at temperatures up to 1350C provided that the body is not over-vitrified; over-vitrification may cause the body to bloat. Should preferably be fired in an oxidising atmosphere.

Although there is some tendency for the chrome to flash, this has no serious effects since the chrome content of the colors is comparatively low.

Compatibility
-------------
Suitable for blending with chrome greens, manganese pinks and most other types of tin-free colours.

Cost
----
Relatively low.

Note: This description is taken from information provided by Blythe Matthey and may or may not apply to stains of this family from other companies.

Engobe/Body Stain: Suitable for most types of bodies for firing in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures up to over 1250C.
Over-vitrification should be avoided since this may cause the body to bloat.

Mechanisms

  • Glaze Color - Yellow/Orange

    Although the colours are primarily intended for use as body stains, their low cost compared with that of other types of orange stain favours their use as glaze stains for firing at temperatures below 1100C.
    A fairly stiff leadless glaze mixture should be used, and the addition of stain should not exceed 5%.
    Underglaze Color: Suitable for use under most types of glazes.

Maintain your recipe database on-line

  • Login to a private account or work with others in a group account (e.g. university).
  • Nothing to install (access it using your web browser). It is always the latest version.
  • Easy to import your existing data.
  • As many side-by-side recipes as you want.
  • Many ways to search and classify glaze and body recipes.
  • Glaze and body recipes are robust, with units-of-measure, unlimited pictures with individual titles and descriptions.
  • Add variations to a recipe; each with its own pictures, descriptions and name/code-number extensions.
  • Recipes can link to typecodes, projects and firing schedules (all managed in their own areas).
  • Standard reports and mix ticket reports with last-minute-totalling; variations report as if they are a complete recipe.
  • Video tutorials, help system, contact form on every page, dedicated messaging and support ticket systems.
  • It is an industrial-strength database system (unlimited capacity, fast, reliable, scalable).

Imports many file formats

  • Glaze recipe formats supported: HyperGlaze, GlazeGhem, GlazeMaster, Matrix, INSIGHT XML recipes (single and multiple), INSIGHT SQLite DB files.
  • Assign a batch number to imports, and later search by batch.
  • Assign multiple typecodes to imported glaze and body batches (to classify) and search on these later.
  • Prepend character sequences to glaze recipe names during import.
  • Import the pictures and pair them to their corresponding records automatically.
  • One click to automatically export the database to an SQLite DB database file and download it (for use with desktop INSIGHT or just as a backup).
  • Export and import individual glaze recipes as text or XML.

Perfect for Education

  • Ceramic study programs can now accumulate material, recipe and testing data year-after-year, students can login and together build a valuable ceramic glaze and body knowledge resource.
  • Students already have internet connected devices, computers are not even needed in the class.
  • The Reference Manager gives you quick access to the Digitalfire Ceramic Reference Database.
