Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="ijac12122-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Using a high‐speed and high‐resolution‐camera system of droplets in glaze sprays and their impact on the surface of a green ceramic body based on silicate tiles have been characterized. The influence of the surface tension of the glaze slips on the droplet size distribution and their wetting behavior on contact with the green silicate body surface have been investigated. The unfired glaze layers have been studied by means of scanning electron microscopy and computer tomography. The impact angle of the droplets as well as the size of the droplets is of great importance for a high glaze surface quality.</p> </abstract>
