New Raw Materials
For Ceramic Products

at a large manufacturing plant In
accordance with plant practice.
These bricks have been tested in
doors and roof of an electric furnace
for melting steel, in oil fired fur
naces; for steel-pouring ladies; in
boiler settings; in ceramic kilns;
and as bungs in furnaces for MAX
ing malleable iron. They gave ex-
ceptional service in practically all
tests.
Experiments are now in progress
to develop face brick from certain
of the southern clays, and present
results are said to indicate that a
satisfactory product will be obtained
The purpose of this work is to pro-
duce a ~vitreous, buff-face brick,
which type cannot be made from
materials at present in use in the
south. The bricks dry we'll and
when properly made burn to a pleas
ing buff without checking.
Semi-commercial scale tests at two
plants show that several of the Geor-
gia clays can be used in floor tile
bodies. In wall-tile bodies a much
smaller proportion of clay Is de-
sirable to prevent checking. Fac
tory tests on white ware and cleo
trical porcelain are in progress.
