Iron Oxide Black |
Description |
The black iron used in ceramics is generally this synthetic form (the natural equivalent mineral magnetite contains 5-15% impurities). Synthetic black iron is much more expensive than the natural finely ground material (-200 mesh) but if there are good reasons for its use and percentages in the product recipe are low enough the cost may be justified. In ceramics, black iron is used as a source of Fe (in preference to red iron) where its black raw color and its better distribution properties are needed. |
