Although variations in all of the physical properties can be attributed to the use of different ball clays, these variations are more pronounced on the compressive strength properties. Since feldspar mainly controls fired shrinkage and fired absorption, and since the same amount of feldspar was used in each body, the effects of using different ball clays on these physical properties were not so pronounced.5 unnumbered pages, 66 pages, 5 unnumbered leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1944.V462Ball clayPorcelainThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-02062013-040014/
