| Abstract: | The selection of a suitable glaze for a particular body by usual inspection of a field of glaze trials is not sufficiently precise, and gives no indication of slow crazing tendencies. A new method of selecting glazes depends on the effect of a glaze on the strength of a porcelain tensile test specimen. The best fitting glazes increase the strength while poorer ones decrease it. Glazes which craze weaken the specimens very markedly. Results obtained with various glazes on one fire porcelain are given. |
