The eutectic
patterns of some of the flux oxides involved in a glaze melt can
be displayed on the % Analysis Triaxial Graph.
These patterns
have been taken directly from Fig. 3 in the Hewitt & Bailey
article Ceramic Review #99 - 1986.
At the top right
of the triaxial graph window is a panel of check boxes.
The eutectic
pattern for these oxides may be displayed on the graph by clicking
on the appropriate box. Clicking on the box again will remove the
pattern from the graph. (Fig.1)

The oxides'
eutectic patterns are colour coded to differentiate them on the
graph.
The position
of the lowest melt combination of flux, amphoteric & acid glaze
content is indicated by a coloured dot(s) along the line of the
oxide's eutectic.
The actual melting
temperature of that combination is shown in the Oxide Eutectics
Panel.
Any combination
of eutectics may be displayed by click the check boxes on or off.
