Ceramic Firing Temp

This is the hardening tightening and finally the partial glassification of the clay.
Ceramic firing temp. Mostly yellow with a hint of orange. You cannot fire pottery in a home oven because ovens do not get up to the high temperatures of more than 1 500 degrees fahrenheit that you need for firing clay. Each ceramic glaze should be fired to a specific temperature range. If the temperature goes too high the glaze will become too melted and run off the surface of the pottery.
If the temperature goes too high the glaze will become too melted and run off the surface of the pottery. People want to know if they can fire a certain clay to a certain cone. First it is important to know that the maximum cone rating of a stoneware or porcelain clay is the temperature at which it vitrifies. For success a potter must know their glazes temperature ranges at which they become mature.
Clay bodies have ranges of temperature that they can be fired to. Low fire mid range and high fire ranges. When potters talk about ceramic firing ranges they are usually referring to the three most common. If fired at too low a temperature the glaze will not mature.
This is the most common temperature range for industrial ceramics. The temperature needed to transform soft clay into hard ceramic is extremely high and is usually provided by a kiln. The glass phase that forms during the firing of a ceramic material can be thought of as the glue that holds the finished work together. For mid range material a kiln should be firing at a temperature between 2124 and 2264 1162 1240.
We get many questions about clay firing temperatures.
