Kiln furniture. Kiln furniture are devices and implements inside furnaces used during the heating of manufactured individual pieces, such as pottery or other ceramic or metal components. Kiln furniture is made of refractory materials, i.e., materials that withstand high temperatures without deformation. Kiln furniture can account for up to 80% of the mass of a kiln charge.

Materials
Commonly used materials are cordierite (up to 1275 °C), mullite (up to 1750 °C), silicon carbide (up to 1500 °C), alumina (up to 1750 °C), zirconia (up to 1650 °C). The choice depends on cost, weight, and physical properties.

Functions and effects

Functions of kiln furniture include carrying the kiln/furnace load and protecting the load from various kind of damage: open file, smoke, debris, from deforming or sticking the components to each other. In addition to various carriers and plates, capsules with heating material may be used.

Kiln furniture influences the heat distribution in the furnace and the interaction of the load with the atmosphere in the furnace. Since the furniture is being heated along with the load, this increases energy consumption hence the operating costs increase. An additional increase of costs comes from wear of the furniture due to thermomechanical and chemical stresses. To decrease heat capacity porous materials or thinner furniture components may be used. However this calls for a trade-off with load-bearing capacity and stress resistance.

Types of kiln furniture

A saggar (also misspelled as sagger or segger) is a ceramic boxlike container used in the firing of pottery to enclose or protect ware being fired inside a kiln.  Saggars have been used to protect, or safeguard, ware from open flame, smoke, gases and kiln debris. Traditionally, saggars were made primarily from fireclay. Modern saggars are made of alumina ceramic, cordierite ceramic, mullite ceramic silicon carbide and in special cases from zirconia.
 

A pernette or stilt is a prop to support pottery in a kiln so that pottery does not touch each other or kiln's floor. In archaeology, they may be upside-down fired clay tripods, leaving characteristic marks at the bottoms of the pottery/porcelain. They expose the bottom of the fired piece to the full heat.

Other types of furniture and furniture systems include kiln cars, kiln shelves, batts, tiles, and plates; tubes and beams; props and fittings, profile setters, rollers, stools; T-cranks, Y-cranks, pin cranks. The design of kiln furniture system depends on the wares manufactured: structural clay products, dinnerware, tiles, electronics ceramics, sanitaryware, electrical porcelain, etc.

Jabez McClelland. Jabez Jenkins McClelland is an American physicist. He is best known for his work applying the techniques of laser cooling and atom optics to nanotechnology.  This work involved expanding the number of atomic species that could be laser cooled from the alkalis and a few alkaline earth and noble gas species, to transition metals such a chromium and rare earths such as erbium.  In the early 1990s he and colleagues showed that the nodes of an optical standing wave could act as lenses, focusing chromium atoms as they deposit onto a surface to create a permanent grating structure whose periodicity is precisely tied to an atomic resonance frequency, making it a useful nanoscale length standard. In the early 2000s his team showed that laser cooled atoms can produce a very high brightness ion beam when ionized just above threshold, and used this technique to realize a high resolution lithium ion microscope.

McClelland studied music and physics at Wesleyan University, and pursued graduate study in physics at the University of Texas at Austin. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and remained there full-time, successively heading the Electron Physics Group and Alternative Computing Group. McClelland was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1998 "[f]or elucidation of spin polarized electron-atom interactions, and for pioneering development and application of atom optical methods in nanostructure fabrication." An equivalent honor bestowed by the Optical Society of America in 2004 acknowledged McClelland for his "contributions to atom optics, including the fabrication of stable structures by direct-write atomic lithography."

Potassium tetrafluoronickelate. Potassium tetrafluoronickelate is the inorganic compound with the formula K2NiF4. It features octahedral (high spin) Ni centers with Ni-F bond lengths of 2.006 Å. This green solid is a salt of tetrafluoronickelate. It is prepared by melting a mixture of nickel(II) fluoride, potassium fluoride, and potassium bifluoride.  The compound adopts a perovskite-like structure consisting of layers of octahedral Ni centers interconnected by doubly bridging fluoride ligands.  The layers are interconnected by potassium cations.  It is one of the principal Ruddlesden-Popper phases. Early discoveries on cuprate superconductors focused on compounds with structures closely related to K2NiF4, e.g. lanthanum cuprate and derivative lanthanum barium copper oxide.

Lanthanum cuprate. Lanthanum cuprate usually refers to the inorganic compound with the formula CuLa2O4.  The name implies that the compound consists of a cuprate (CuOn]2n-) salt of lanthanum (La3+).  In fact it is a highly covalent solid.  It is prepared by high temperature reaction of lanthanum oxide and copper(II) oxide follow by annealing under oxygen.

The material adopts a tetragonal structure related to potassium tetrafluoronickelate (K2NiF4), which is orthorhombic.  Replacement of some lanthanum by barium gives the quaternary phase CuLa1.85Ba0.15O4, called lanthanum barium copper oxide. That doped material displays superconductivity at , which at the time of its discovery was a high temperature.  This discovery initiated research on cuprate superconductors and was the basis of a Nobel Prize in Physics to Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller.

Dunging. Dunging was a process used in textile manufacturing to finish printed textiles, particularly those printed with aluminium or iron mordants. It was a process of exposing mordanted products into a solution of cow dung and hot water. Dunging was used to fix mordants as well as remove unfixed mordants and thickening agents from the fabric.

A mordant is a chemical that fixes a dye on a material by reacting with the dye to generate an insoluble compound.

Etymology 
The treatment got its name from the cow dung that was the primary ingredient used in the formulation. Later, the process was substituted by certain chemical substances such as molybdic acid, arsenic, or phosphoric acid or soluble salts of tungstic acid.

Objective 
Dunging is followed by printing and the ageing process. Dunging removes the thickening agents used in printing and also aids in the detachment of mordants that are only lightly adhered. Additionally, it completes the mordant's fixation on the material and makes it ready and compatible with the dye.
