Abstract
This study is focused on the evaluation of the re-utilizability of scale originated during the steel casting and steel rolling processes as a pigment for glazes. Non-oiled scale with Fe3O4 as the major phase were used as a coloring component of transparent glaze matrix in: (i) as received state, (ii) thermally pre-treated at 700 and 900 °C, (iii) mechanically treated in planetary ball mill (60, 120 and 240 min) and (iv) mechanically treated in vibratory disc mill (60 and 120 min). Prepared glazes were applied on the surface of ceramic tiles prepared from a commercially available white ceramic slurry. The resulting tiles with given glaze were thermally treated at 800, 900 and 1060 °C. The pigments were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction method (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), granulometry (PSD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDAX). The color of the samples was described by the coordinates L*a*b* from CIELAB color space. The results showed that the non-oiled scale is suitable as the pigment for ceramic glazes. Careful control of the scale treatment process (mechanical as well as thermal) together with the temperature of final glaze firing is necessary to obtain the glaze of desired color and quality.
