Download or read book Enamels Crowns Relics and Icons written by Paul Hetherington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers together 17 articles published over the last 30 years, together with one appearing here for the first time. Their focus is primarily on enamel, the brilliant and colourful art form for which the Byzantines were famous throughout the medieval world, but sculpture and glyptics also figure. The author examines not only works which have retained the form in which they were first created, but others which have had their original Byzantine elements re-used, often by artists in the West. While most of the works featured here have been known to scholars before, one was unknown prior to its first publication in 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine experimentally what happens to the cobalt oxide in a porcelin-enamel ground coat during firing, a porcelin enamel containing a radioactive isotope of cobalt (Co60) smelted into the frit was prepared and applied to enameling-iron blanks. These specimens were fired under conditions which produced a normal porcelin enamel and underfired and overfired enamels. The enamel, metal, and interface layer between the enamel were then removed separately, by chemical solution, and radioassays wer made on the solutions and residues.

Download or read book Weather Resistance of Porcelain Enamels written by Margaret Ann Rushmer and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exposure test of procelain enamels at seven representative sites in the continental United States was initiated by the National Bureau of Standards and the Porcelain Enamel Institute in 1956. After seven years all specimens were returned to the Bureau and the changes in gloss and color determined. These changes were found to be different al all exposure sites except Pittsburgh and New Orleans. The most severe changes occurred for specimens exposed at Kure Beach, 80 fee from the ocean, while the least change occurred for specimens exposed at Los Angeles. The differences in behavior of the specimens correlated with both the relative humidity and the pH of the suspended particulate matter at the different sites. A direct relation existed between the acid resistance of the enamels and weather resistance. However, enamels of different types, such as enamels on aluminum and steel, having the same acid resistance did not necessarily show the same weather resistance. Comparison with enamel specimens exposed for seven years in an earlier test showed that porcelain enamels produced after the end of World War II were equally resistant to changes in gloss at the Washington, D. C., site as those produced before the war. As a group, the regular glossy acid-resistant enamels on steel showed the best weather resistance of the various types tested. No corrosion of the base metal was noted for any specimen on which the initial coverage was complete. (Author).
