Applications of chrome flour in ceramic industry
Chrome flour is also called chromite flour,chromite powder,chrome powder,iron chromite powder,iron chromite flour,iron chrome flour and iron chrome powder.
Because chrome flour has the following properties:
– Stable at high temperatures
– Thermal-shock resistant
– Resistant to corrosive glasses and slags
– High heat resistance
Then chrome flour is used widely in ceramic industry,and the main applications are as follows:
1.Ceramic colorant
Chrome flour is used as colorant in ceramic industry and makes ceramic products colorful.Ceramic makers can produce ceramic products with different color and lines via controlling addition and size of chrome flour.Besides,chrome flour can improve sintering character of ceramics to increase the density sand strength of ceramic products.
2.Rrfractoriness
Because chrome flour has higher melting point and refractory,it can be used widely to produce refractory.Chrome flour refractory plays a vital role in ceramic manufacturing,eg.ceramic kiln linding and elevated temperature vessel.
3.Ceramic glazes
Chrome flour is used a glazes in ceramics,the glazes from chrome flour can increase wear resistance,resistance to chemical corrosion and glossiness of ceramics.Besides,chrome flour ceramic glazes also improves the heat stability of ceramics and makes not easyly crack or deform during sintering under high temperature.
