This is a cone 11 oxidation melt flow test. Shown (left to right):
-A new shipment of Cornwall Stone 2011
-L3617 Digitalfire calculated substitute recipe
-An older Cornwall shipment
-The H&G substitute 2011 (far right, mislabelled on the picture).
These do not flow well here, a small frit addition was later employed to better compare them. However they have melted enough to see some differences in whiteness and degree of melt. Notice the L3617 is more like the old Cornwall Stone than the new Cornwall is.

Oxide Interaction
In ceramic glazes each oxide generally makes a specific contributions to the melting and freezing behavior of the glaze. However interactions are also important. |
