Determinatiun uf Firing Temperature of Pottery , Brick and Tile by XRD and STA

Abstract

Ccrumic refers to all fircd products incl uding pou ery,
hrick. and tile that is primarily composed of clay with different
iJlllo unts of o ther materia ls thaI have a source from soil and
when they lired .produced a hard material. Firing the clay body
to the hanJness of ceramic hody is the next critical stage in
manufm:turing.
To de termine the firing te mperatu re. four lired (450, 600.
850. 1000°C) togc ther with unfin..:d day samples were studied,
usmg XR 0 and STA methods. and then an unidentified tiring
temperature sample was examined. Format ion of new mi ne rals
