My system is not decent

Chapter 1073

For a long time, Chen Wenzhe didn't use Sui Hou's Pearl to learn skills directly.

This time he directly found the enamel painting technique, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

This is a professional counterpart skill, and it is the top skill.

So without much hesitation, he consumed the achievement points step by step, learned it completely, and mastered it.

Although it took some time to digest what he had learned during the period, he didn't realize until after learning that what he learned this time was really not simple.

This kind of top craftsmanship is really worth learning for him.

This time, not only his painting skills have been greatly improved, but also the effect of painting blending, painting, and even the firing effect after painting, especially the color change, etc., all of which have greatly improved him.

It can be said that just learning an enamel painting skill gave him a comprehensive improvement.

It can even be said to be sublimation. Such a comprehensive skill has given him many skills, even if he has not reached the master level, it has already made him fully walk on the road above the master level.

Therefore, if you encounter a real top craft, or a craft work that exceeds the master level, you still have to learn it.

At his current level, any breakthrough can bring him a comprehensive improvement.

Now that he has learned enamel painting, he has a comprehensive understanding of firing enamel.

"No wonder everyone said that the deeper you learn, the more shallow your knowledge is, as if you don't know anything. Now that you know how to fire enamel, you feel that it is more difficult to fire!"

After learning how to make enamel, Chen Wenzhe felt that what he thought before was too simple.

Enamel colored porcelain needs to be fired in the kiln five times, which is completely beyond his expectation.

Also, many people say that enamel painting is a monopoly craft. It turned out that he didn't have a deep understanding of it, but now he has a deep understanding!
"Come slowly!" Chen Wenzhe was a little helpless, but he has time now, and he can also cooperate with the firing of Ru Kiln and famille rose porcelain.

In this way, time is not wasted at all, and it can also make people full of work every day without feeling empty at all.

This kind of work life is exactly what he wants.

"This is really a monopoly!"

While sorting out the firing process of the enamel color, Chen Wenzhe sighed with emotion.

Many people don't understand why enamel is a handicraft monopolized by the court? Because enamel has never been out of the palace.

Its production is entirely carried out in the palace.

The required white porcelain body was specially made by the Jingzhen Imperial Kiln Factory, and after being transported to Beijing, it was painted and fired in the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office.

The required schemas were drafted by the Ruyi Hall of the Manufacturing Office, and after the emperor's appointment, the court painters painted them on the porcelain according to the samples.

Many kiln workers in the imperial kiln factory have never seen what enamel color is, and the common people have a vague impression of it.

Emperor Qianlong said a word called "Common People Fu Guan", which means that ordinary people cannot see it.

Even now, there are not many people who can meet.

In fact, after sorting out this craft carefully, after classification and research, and using modern technology, it seems that it is not too difficult to make simple ordinary enamel works.

However, it is definitely not easy to really make a boutique.

The enamel process is mainly divided into three categories: filigree enamel, micro-painted enamel, and filling enamel.

But now the main popular, must be cloisonné enamel.

In the past, traditional enamel products were mostly made of red copper, with mineral glaze, and fired at high temperature to form colorful patterns.

Its production mainly goes through tire making, filigree, bluing, sintering, polishing, gold plating and other processes.

The production materials are relatively single, the production procedures are relatively cumbersome, and the production time is relatively long.

The modern enamel process is mainly produced by enamel decorative painting production equipment.

Input the screen graphics into the computer, and the computer inputs the image into the program module of the decorative painting production equipment, and finally controls the decorative painting production equipment to print, and then combines the enamel consumables for process production.

The quality of the finished product is excellent, and the imaging is precise and clear.

This kind of porcelain can not only be made of glass, but also wood, acrylic, ceramic tiles and other materials can be used as the basis for the production of enamel decorative paintings, which has a wide range of applications.

Of course, this kind of thing is not what Chen Wenzhe wants. What he wants is the top art work, not mass-produced decoration materials.

In fact, the materials needed to make enamel are not too many, the main raw materials are silicon, lead red, borax, feldspar, quartz and so on.

As for the production process, it is actually very simple. First, the enamel must be produced.

Enamel is the name for a kind of artificially processed vitrified substance.

It uses natural feldspar, quartz and other minerals as the main raw materials.

Then add soda ash, borax and other compounds as flux.

Then add titanium oxide, antimony oxide, fluoride, etc. as opacifying agent.

Finally, copper oxide, cobalt oxide, iron oxide, manganese oxide, antimony oxide and other metal oxides are added as colorants.

After crushing, mixing, calcining and melting, it is poured into water and quenched to obtain enamel frit.

After crushing and fine grinding, the enamel powder is obtained.

After mixing the enamel powder, apply it on gold, silver, copper and other metalware.

After firing, it becomes metal tire enamel.

If glass is used as the tire, it is called glass tire enamel;
Those who use porcelain as the body are called porcelain body enamel.

So, is it simple?
But if you don't know these programs and try to find out by yourself, it will be very troublesome.

For Chen Wenzhe now, the firing method of porcelain body painting enamel is really not difficult.

As long as you know how to do it, it is not difficult. This is not difficult for the real people who know how to do it.

But, whether you know it or not, it's really troublesome to make.

The most important thing to make enamel color is to prepare the enamel color material, and once the enamel color is prepared, when you actually start making it, you must start with the refined white body.

To make any piece of porcelain, it must have a white body, that is, a plain body.

Don't think that the white body is easy to make, it is the white body used in ordinary porcelain.

The white body used when firing enamel is not simple.

First of all, pure kaolin is selected, and after a process of preparation, it finally becomes high-quality and pure kaolin.

This involves a formula for optimizing kaolin, which can also be said to be a secret recipe.

The ancients did not know the chemical elements of kaolin, nor did they know what kind of kaolin was suitable for firing what kind of porcelain.

They can only make the most suitable kaolin through long-term practical experience and complicated processes.

Like firing enamel colored white tires, what they finally get is high-purity kaolin.

After that, the mud is practiced, the embryo is drawn, and the white embryo is made.

The next step is the firing of the white tire, which is also very important.

White tire firing uses quartz, feldspar, borax, and clay as raw materials to make white tire tread glaze water and dilute it with water.

It is then painted on the surface of the porcelain and fired to have a glass luster.

At this time, the white tire can withstand the temperature between 600°C and 1420°C, and can withstand repeated firing in the kiln for many times.
