HMA - Heating Microscope Analysis for Frits Test

Information found at http://www.reimbold-und-strick.de/
This test is important in the assessment of materials for use in glass ceramics. The heating microscope describes the melting of frits during the heating process. A cube of 3x3x3 mm is pressed of fine ground frit, is heated at 30 - 40°C/min (others specify 10°C/min) to 1400C. During this process characteristics of the silhouette are recorded. These observations can be interpreted differently by different people.

For frits, it is more common to interpret a glass transition (transformation) point and softening point by interpreting the curve produced by a dilatometer.

Variables

SP - Sintering Point (V)

At this temperature the height of the cylinder shrinks by 5%, also referred to as transformation point.

EP - Softening Point (V)

The beginning of softening: The temperature at which the corners show rounding.

K - Ball Point (V)

At this temperature the silhouette is similar to a sphere.

HK - Half-ball Point (V)

Temperature at which the height is half of the base. Interpreted at the melting temperature.

F - Liquid Point (V)

The sample has melted to 1/3 of its original height.
