Abstract
Common processes used in glazed ceramic production often result in a glaze with a heterogeneous microstructure. Heterogeneities may he due to residual batch materials, intentionally added colorants and opacifiers and/or the products of devitrification and phase separation. To study the effect of heterogeneities in the corrosion process, dynamic imaging microellipsometry was used in-situ in aqueous solutions to measure spatially and temporally resolved changes in the surface of glasses (model glazes). The measurements showed increased durability near inclusions. Residual stress fields surrounding the heterogeneities influenced the results. Decoupling of chemical and mechanical factors causing this increased durability was not possible.
