EFFECTS OF HEAT ON ALUMINIUM SILICATES

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

When we fire the clay at high temperature the foreign oxides in the clay along with free Silica form a glass which can be detected by its transformation point in thermal expansion curves. This glass is responsible for the loss of in mechanical strength of fired clay at the softening point and the body deforms […]
