We are often fascinated by the appearance of a beautiful thing, but we never explore the beauty of the other side hidden beneath its beautiful appearance. Glass Mosaic in the swimming pool, science and technology museum, theater, TV tower, kindergarten, playground (horror house), flower terrace water pavilion, courtyard pavilion, temple temple island, furniture, bathroom, Disco ballroom, skating rink, bar, club, etc., especially at night when the surrounding environment is dark and in the application of indoor walls and ground, the luminous effect is more prominent. In the design and construction, if the auxiliary matching purple lamp, energy-saving lamp and fluorescent lamp are targeted, after the lights are just turned off, the building itself will have a crystal clear feeling of jade and jade in general, transparent and luminous, quiet and deep, and add extraordinary mysterious color and infinite romantic atmosphere to the building itself in the night. These beautiful scenes will be remembered, remember the artistic charm of it, but it is not known that the sintering process is also another form of artistic expression?
The sintering process of glass Mosaic includes melting method and sintering method. The melting method is mainly made of quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, colorant and emulsifier, which is formed by axial calendering or flat calendering after melting at high temperature, and finally annealed. Sintering method is made of waste glass, adhesive and other materials through the process of pressing, drying, sintering and annealing. According to its production process and the surface effect of finished products are different and classified as follows:
Sintered glass with glass (chemical composition is still silica) and color material crushed into powder, adding an appropriate amount of binder and oxide, die casting into a certain specification, size of the green block, by kiln high temperature sintering of colored glass Mosaic.
Sintered glass Mosaic production process: The glass (chemical composition of silica) and chemical pigment (according to the color of the finished product) are mechanically crushed into powder, and then an appropriate amount of binder and oxide are fished into the die casting of a certain specification into a block raw blank, which is passed through the assembly line to a piece of ceramic pad that is resistant to high temperature and not easy to change, and then enter the kiln to be sintered at high temperature (about 850℃). Then it flows through the assembly line and is cooled by wind, collected at the end of the production line to the semi-finished product warehouse, and then the qualified products are picked by machinery and manual and placed on the mold of a certain specification and size, and the front is pasted with kraft paper or the back is pasted with net, dried and packaged into products.
Sintered glass Mosaic characteristics: sintered glass Mosaic characteristics and fused glass Mosaic similar, but its surface is more rough, more bubbles, paste decoration is easy to hide dust and dirt, color is worse than fused Mosaic.
Venus (gold thread) Mosaic: contains a certain proportion of filamentary or point banded metal (usually gold) crystal particles, with obvious light flashing colored glass Mosaic, also known as gold sand Mosaic or gold wire Mosaic.
You see, when we see the beautiful sparkling glass mosaics, we did not think that the original glass mosaics production process is so complex, so exquisite engineering only the word "art" can match the praise of it.
