This paper analyse the wear resistance of high reflective metal oxide films of TiO2 (anatase), Fe2O3 (hematite), ZrO2 (Zirconia) and SnO2 (Casiterite) deposited by screen printing over a conventional ceramic glaze (molar composition 0,2CaO.0,15ZnO.0,05K2O.0,1Al2O3 0,45SiO2.0,05ZrO2). All oxide coatings increase the gloss of the substrate producing a lustre effect. Anatase films stand out for their high gloss valour and low roughness Ra. Likewise, all lustres improve the wear resistance of the glaze substrate. Hematite and casiterite coatings stand out for their relatively high wear resistance maintaining relatively high reflectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
