What's the difference between enamel bowls and ceramic bowls?

1, the raw materials are different: the raw materials of enamel are inorganic glassy materials, and the raw materials of ceramics are clay and porcelain clay. 2, the characteristics are different: enamel bowls are not fragile. Ceramic bowls break easily. 3. Different definitions: the enamel bowl refers to the inorganic glass enamel coated on the surface of metal skin, with rich colors and bright patterns. Ceramic bowls are industrial products made of clay and nonmetallic minerals.

What's the difference between enamel bowls and ceramic bowls?

1, different raw materials

Enamel is a kind of composite material, in which inorganic glassy material is fused to the base metal and firmly combined with the metal. Ceramics are made of clay with different properties, such as clay and porcelain clay.

2. Different characteristics

There will be a layer of antioxidant on the surface of enamel bowl, so it can resist the erosion of various liquids, and has good thermal conductivity and is not fragile. Ceramic bowls also have the function of oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance to some acid and alkali substances, and good heat insulation. The disadvantage is that it breaks easily after being hit.

3. Different definitions

Enamel bowl refers to the inorganic glass enamel coated on the surface of metal skin, which is rich in color and bright in pattern. Pottery bowls refer to industrial products made of clay and non-metallic minerals, so there is a big difference between them in definition.

4. Different technological processes

Enamel production mainly includes glaze making, blank making, glaze coating, drying, firing, inspection and other processes; Ceramics are made by batching, molding, drying and roasting.

5. Different origins

Enamel originated from glass decorative metal. Ancient Egypt first appeared, followed by Greece. In the 6th century, inlaid enamel, carved enamel, embossed enamel, transparent enamel and painting enamel appeared in Europe. In the 8th century, China began to develop enamel color. By the end of 14, the enamel color technology became more and more mature, especially the products made during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty in the middle of 15, so it was called cloisonne.
