ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method of firing ceramics and a furnace for manufacturing ceramics. Ceramic forms are first fired in a cylindrical heat resistant container in a furnace core tube by using a lateral tubular furnace to increase their mechanical strength. Then, the container is rotated while the ceramic forms are fired further in a predetermined temperature region, which includes a maximum temperature. In this manner the ceramic forms are heated in a uniform state, both thermally and atmospherically, while receiving moderate impact by rotation, and defective appearance and fluctuations in the characteristics of the ceramics are suppressed. In particular, the container is rotated within a temperature region which is higher than the temperature used to start increasing the mechanical strength of the ceramic forms. Further, the ceramic forms can be packed into the container at a higher rate during the rotation portion of the process than during the first firing.
