TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the thermal endurance of fired ceramics with varying grog sizes and found that using preformed cordierite, much longer life would be assured and a method for evaluating thermal endurance could be standardised.
Abstract: Clay-based saggars, commonly used in the pottery industries in India, can not stand more than 5 to 6 thermal cycles. With a view to understanding the different parameters controlling the thermal shock resistance property of fired ceramics, bodies containing 50% cordierite grog—50% clay, 50% clay grog—50% clay and 50% clay grog—50% cordierite were prepared with variations in grog sizes. The strength was measured after each thermal cycle.From the studies, it could be inferred that by using preformed cordierite, much longer life would be assured and a method for evaluating thermal endurance of fired ceramics could be standardised.
