Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines how heat alters clay at the molecular level. The author, an expert in the field, begins by explaining the composition of clay and its various mineral constituents, establishing a framework for understanding the ensuing chemical reactions. The text proceeds to describe the four phases of burning: watersmoking, dehydration, oxidation, and vitrification, which transforms the clay into a solid and stable material. The author meticulously describes the temperature ranges and chemical processes that occur during each phase, emphasizing the role of factors such as air supply, carbon content, and the size and density of the clay. The concluding section explores the concept of vitrification in depth, explaining how the formation of a 'eutectic combination' influences the clay's properties. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between heat and clay, offering valuable insights for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
