Characterization of Ceramic Material Coating by Cobalt Sulfate Using Spray Technique

Ceramic glaze has been developed by numerous experiences and knowhow of potters for a long time. It has offered curiosity and beauty to many people with a variety of colors. This study first verifies the color difference according to clays and glazing used for the coloration experiment based on generation process and chemical reaction of cobalt sulfate, and determines the effect of a dilution ratio with water on changes in coloration concentration. The cobalt-aluminate spinel and the cobalt-silicate olivine are the strongest of the ceramic pigment, producing a very pure, navy blue color.
