Calibrating a porcelain furnace is a crucial step for ceramists to ensure the optimal firing of porcelain.
5 Key Points to Know About Calibrating a Porcelain Furnace
1. The Primary Material Used
The material typically used to calibrate a porcelain furnace is a sample of the porcelain system's clearest powder.
2. Forming the Calibration Discs
This powder is formed into discs using a lubricated metal washer from the hardware store.
3. Testing the Firing Cycle
Ceramists use these discs to test the firing cycle and adjust the furnace settings based on the translucency and texture of the ceramic.
4. Evaluating the Results
The ceramist examines the fired discs for sharply defined, unrounded edges and maximum clarity, adjusting the firing cycles to achieve the desired results.
5. Importance of Proper Calibration
Proper calibration is crucial for achieving optimal levels of maturity while maintaining important features of the restoration, such as surface texture, translucency, value, hue, and chroma.
