ABSTRACT:
An electric kiln for firing ceramic ware in a reducing atmosphere has a substantially sealed chamber with electrical-resistance heating elements. A compartment is provided within the kiln for selectively introducing a reducing agent into the chamber. According to the method, the temperature within the chamber is raised to a predetermined level by energizing the heating elements. Upon attainment of the desired temperature level, a selected quantity of the reducing agent is introduced into the chamber for producing a reducing atmosphere during the maturing of the ceramic ware. As the temperature is raised to a level at which the heating elements would be damaged, a substantially neutral atomsphere is maintained in the chamber. Aslo during cooling, a reducing atmosphere is possible for further reduction of the ware and glazes thereon.
