THE MOST CRUCIAL TIME DURING PORCELAIN FIRING IS

WHEN IT IS COOLING FROM 750C TO 650C.
650C AT 750C IT IS
STILL VERY SOFT.
AT 650C PORCELAIN IS ALREADY AS HARD AS IT WILL EVER
BE.
BE
THE TEMPERATURE AND THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE
PORCELAIN TO COOL FROM SOFT TO HARD IS 100C AND
ABOUT 33-5 MINUTES.
MINUTES
PORCELAIN IS STRONGEST UNDER COMPRESSION AND
WEAKEST UNDER TENSION.
IN THE SAME TIME
TIME, YOUR OVEN NEEDS TO COOL TO AT
LEAST 600C BEFORE PLACING UNFIRED RESTORATION INTO
THE OVEN.
