Glaze’s many properties, such as strong acid and alkali resistance, non-conduciveness, insolubility, and gas-impermeability, make it a great material to be used as protective membrane to prevent oxidation. The purpose of this study is to examine the Sintered Copper Sheet Metal Glaze Layer Technology. First, to find the best copper sheet metal glaze sintering method, Taguchi L₁₆(4⁵) orthogonal array was used to identify and determine sintering organically by examing different temperatures, firing times, the thickness of the copper metal. Then salt spray test was used to seek the strength of the glaze’s mechanical properties. By applying the optimal design parameters, we identified the significant control factors that determine the optimal sintered ceramic layer of the surface structure. Findings in this study could be further used to seek the optimal composition of metal and glaze in order to improve the yield of glaze related products.
