Notes

This is an example of an expansion adjustable transparent base glaze recipe (we have a separate article about this G1916M base). If it crazes, use more Frit 3124 and less Frit 3134; if it shivers use more 3134 and less 3124. If it is too glossy, use Frit 3195 instead of 3124.

Mechanisms

  • Body Maturity - Mullite Formation

    Assists in the formation of mullite at lower temperatures than formed by conventional alumina-silica sources.

  • Body Plasticity - Extrusion

    Moderately high percentages of the Alkatrol products can be substituted in body compositions to reduce laminations in pressing and to aid in extrusion.

  • Body Thermal Expansion -

    Add this to reduce thermal expansion and reduce firing shrinkage.

  • 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.
