The function of a kiln is to heat and transform substances, particularly clay products, into a more durable and hardened form, such as ceramics. A kiln is like an oven that gets extremely hot and is used to fire, dry, bake, harden, or burn various materials. It provides a controlled environment for the firing process, allowing for efficient control of temperature rise and fall. Kilns are typically made of refractory materials and have a heavy steel frame on the outside, with fire brick insulation on the inside to retain heat. They come in different types, including gas, wood, and electric kilns, depending on the fuel used to power them. Kilns are designed to maintain their structural integrity over many firings while minimizing heat loss. They also provide protection for the ware being fired and allow for easy loading and unloading. Kiln atmosphere, whether oxidation or reduction, can strongly influence the character of the ceramics being fired.
