To describe: The process of firing traditional ceramics and its effect on the properties of ceramics.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Ceramics are solids made from dries clay.
The process of heating ceramics at high temperatures between 1000°C-1700°C is called firing. Due to heating at such high temperatures, there is a loss in the amount of water. This loss of water causes the space between the molecules of the ceramics to shrink. Due to the thick molecular structure, the ceramics have great strength and are durable.
Conclusion:
Due to heating at high temperatures in manufacturing process, ceramics become strong and durable.
