Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book contains important information about the history, composition and properties of enamels and enamel-making, which date back to ancient times. This ancient technique is used to fuse a glass-based coating onto the surface of other materials, particularly metal. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the composition and properties of enamel - its hardness, chemical resistance, and durability. Readers will find detailed information on the wide range of materials used to create enamels, including quartz, potash, soda, and lead compounds. Some enamels are made transparent, while others achieve an opaque appearance when certain substances, such as tin oxide or bone ash, are added to the mix.
