Across
- 3. you glaze the inside of your greenware pot when it is leather hard and then the outside when it is bone dry
- 4. this is the period in the kiln firing where the final mechanical water is being removed
- 6. a fault that can occur during the firing of ceramic articles
- 10. the cracking that occurs in fired ceramic bodies due to stress
- 12. progressive partial fusion of a clay, or of a body, a result of a firing process
- 13. consist of opaque matter that absorbs or scatters visible light
- 15. a rare silicate mineral of post-clay genesis
- 16. a flaw in ceramic ware attributed to the decomposition of iron pyrites
- 18. the degrading of ceramics due to interaction
- 19. a firing defect in which blisters form within a clay body, causing large lumps on the surface
- 20. used in glasses, glazes, and ceramic bodies to lower the higher melting point
Down
- 1. includes drying of powder and shaped bodies
- 2. the thermal expansion compatibility between glaze and clay body
- 5. the second firing of a piece of pottery
- 7. formed by fusing inorganic materials into glass by heating them
- 8. the glaze melts of the fired body and forms a vitreous surface
- 9. a crystalline form of silica formed in the matrix of clay bodies
- 11. any pottery that has been fired in a kiln without a ceramic glaze
- 14. the degree of fluidity
- 17. the sudden volume change in crystalline quartz particles
- 19. when a substance in a product being fired has a lower burning point than what it is being fired wiht and burns away
