Firing

Ceramics obtain their final material properties by firing. We fire ceramic parts in chamber kilns at temperatures 1,180 - 1,610⁰C. The firing temperature depends on the type of the ceramic material.

Typical firing temperatures:

• Alumina -1,610⁰C
• Zirconia - 1,450⁰C
• Steatite - 1,280⁰C
• Cordierite - 1,180°C - 1,280°C

Our high temperature kilns make firing up to a temperature of 1,700⁰C possible. All the kilns are controlled by programmable regulators that make it possible to set the required firing curves and guarantee a standard and reproducible course of firing.

We use NABERTHERM electric kilns (maximum 1,700°C), BUKOTHERM and ELSKLO (maximum 1,300°C) and an ENERGO gas furnace (maximum 1,250°C) for firing.
