| Abstract: | The initial firing of some ceramic bodies is accompanied by a preliminary expansion before shrinkage takes place. This expansion, which has been determined for several types of ceramic bodies, may set up strains and result in the cracking of large pieces when they are improperly fired. A firing schedule that will lessen the strains and eliminate the cracking has been effected and is described in this paper. |
