The glazes in this line blend are:
Left: entrada_12_09_L
Right: entrada_12_09_R
Both the left member, and right member of this line blend have empirical formula with:
alumina = .4
slilica = 2.9
Li2O = .25
MgO = .25
Thus equally all the tiles have this alumina and silica, lithium, and magnesia
The left member has:
combined K2O, Na2O = .15
CaO = .35
The right member has: combined K2O, Na2O = .35
CaO = .15
This is a test of the effect of the relative proportion of alkaline metals to Alumina.
The alkali metal:alumina ratio of the left member of this line blend is 1
The alkali metal:alumina ratio of the right member of this line blend is 1.5
This is fired to cone 6 in an electric kiln. All the tiles were fired in the same kiln, on the same shelf.
