Art potters and ceramic engineers have relied on the first edition of this Ceramic
Science for the Potter as an "excellent reference work, one of the best
produced" ("Ceramic Review" magazine). Now in this newly revised
edition, the authors once again explore the nature of ceramic materials and their
interactions, providing a dependable foundation that assures the potter excellent
results. Working with computer-generated studies, Professors Lawrence and West
provide fascinating new information on "glaze fit" that shows how thermal
expansion properties in the glaze and body can be both predicted and controlled
to prevent cracking, crazing, and other problems. The firing process and its importance
in controlling defects is graphically illustrated by showing the relationship
between the interior body temperature, the kiln temperature, and the shrinkage
characteristics of the body. Whiteware bodies, thermal shock theory, plastic properties,
firing and glaze adaptation are all covered in depth. |
