The difference between glass and glaze

2023-10-17

The difference between glaze and glass is: different composition, different appearance, different production and different uses.

1. Different components, the main components of glass are various inorganic minerals. The main components of glaze are silica, alumina and lead oxide which is an auxiliary solvent of silicon.

2. The sound is different. When the colored glass collides with the copper coins, it will make a crisp sound. When you hit the glass with coins, the glass will make a very low noise.

3. Differences in processing technology. Glazed glass is fired at low temperature, which will produce bubbles. It is processed by hand and is suitable for the production of different works of art. The glass is pressed at a high temperature of 1400 degrees, suitable for mass production, without air bubbles.

4. For different purposes, glass is widely used in construction, daily use, art, medicine, chemistry, electronics, instruments, nuclear engineering, etc. Glazed glass is the main decoration. Lavius use both glass and glaze for lighting for different project. The plane combination of glass, glass and metal can be done with UV glue (shadowless glue), and it is irradiated with ultraviolet light during use to accelerate the curing.

Extended description:

Liuli, also known as "yao glass", is made of an artificial crystal (containing 24% lead dioxide) in different colors (the colors are made of different metals) at temperatures above 1000°C. Its color is vivid; its quality is clear and dazzling. The ancient Chinese glaze was originally used to make the material, which was extracted from a by-product of the bronze casting process. Because there are many different colors of colored glass, the ancients called it "five-color stone". In ancient times, because it was difficult to obtain, the value of colored glass even surpassed that of jade in that era. In June 2008, approved by the State Council and approved by the Ministry of Culture, it was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage. Glass products are mainly dewaxed glass in the south, while Boshan glass in Zibo is handmade. Liuli Workshop and Liuli are well-known glass production teams in China. On May 21, 2018, it was included in the first batch of national handicraft revitalization list.

Craft means that workers use various production equipment to process or process various raw materials and semi-finished products, and finally form finished products. Process design should follow the principles of advanced technology and economical rationality. Because factors such as the production capacity, precision of equipment and the technical level of workers vary greatly, the production process of the same product will also vary from manufacturer to manufacturer; even in the same factory, at different times, its production process There will also be differences. It can be seen that for a product, technology is not unique, and there are no advantages or disadvantages. This uncertainty and non-uniqueness is very different from other elements in modern industry.
