The authors seek to optimize the firing process for porcelain both for the resulting properties of the porcelain and for the thermal efficiency of the furnace by finding a structural furnace material which will withstand the designated optimal firing regime. To this end they select and test a silicon carbide refractory for its ultimate flexural and compression strength and its resistance to fracture under thermal cycling and stress conditions.In actual service the refractory is found to increase the service life and reduce the frequency of maintenance of the furnace.
