Tips
Open formula
Converts each raw material’s weight into oxide moles using its analysis and molecular weight, then normalizes by total flux moles (RO + R₂O) to produce the Unity Molecular Formula. Surface texture is predicted from the SiO₂:Al₂O₃ ratio at the target cone range.
Digitalfire / Glazy reference data for material analyses. Stull chart zones from ceramic chemistry literature.
