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