A system of requirements for unfired process glass coatings for protecting bronze during smelting is formulated and the properties of the coatings are determined. DTA analysis shows the most critical service temperature interval for the new coatings. The initial system Na2 – B2O3 – SiO2 and the initial materials for synthesizing glass coatings on it are chosen. The method of mathematical planning of experiments is used to optimize the composition of the glass flux in the pseudoternary system silicate-block – cullet – borax.
