Chapter 61: Frying the Kiln
According to Xiao Zhang's memory, if it is correct, the kiln that broke down seems to be the big kiln at the back.
That is, the kiln mouth of the master Liu Chengfeng fired Tang Sancai.
Before Liu Chengfeng used this kiln to fire plain tires, and then not long ago, he came to the second low temperature to fire the glazed Tang Sancai.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that there is a feeling of blowing up the kiln?
What is the cause of the kiln?
The muffled sound just now was very clear.
Just as Xiao Zhang was pondering, Wang Erlong behind him shouted: "Xiao Zhang, what's the sound? Is your kiln exploding?"
"Your kiln just exploded, your house exploded, and your teacher blew up!" Xiao Zhang said angrily.
A loud noise caused all the surrounding night watchmen to come and check, and the person in charge of watching the kiln mouth also hurriedly called Master Liu.
Xiao Zhang felt that it was necessary for him to go over and check it out at this time.
At this time, there were a few people gathered around the big kiln, but everyone was helpless and didn't know what to do.
Although this kind of thing will happen, the probability is still very small, especially at the kiln mouth of these officials, the masters of firing are all masters, so there are few problems with these kilns.
Xiao Zhang pondered carefully, this Master Liu fired Tang Sancai, and he was very familiar with Tang Sancai.
The Tang Sancai firing technique that I remember in my mind is a master-level.
There are many solutions to this problem.
But now the question is whether or not to make a move.
After all, there was a sudden loud noise in a kiln, and everyone didn't dare to get close, and they definitely didn't dare to let themselves get closer, and the party Master Liu hadn't come yet, so it might not be very appropriate to make a rash move by himself.
Just when Xiao Zhang was entangled, there was another muffled sound at the kiln in front of him!
This time the voice was clearer than before.
Xiao Zhang hurriedly rushed forward.
Several workers grabbed Xiao Zhang at once.
"Don't go over, it's too dangerous now. The worker shouted.
"Dangerous yo-yo, let me go quickly!" Xiao Zhang shouted.
With this second muffled sound, the people around them evacuated even further.
"Master Liu, what should I do now?" the guard shouted anxiously into the phone.
......
"There was another sound just now, did you hear me? Come here, I'm afraid it will blow up in a while." The man said anxiously.
......
The man was about to continue talking, but Xiao Zhang suddenly bypassed the worker who stopped him, and directly stepped forward to grab the phone and said into the phone: "Master Liu, I'm Xiao Zhang." ”
"Xiao Zhang, why are you here...... Oh, I remembered that you're going to guard the kiln tonight. Master Liu's voice was very calm.
"It's urgent, you must know it, your kiln has exploded!"
"Is it serious? My master didn't explain it just now, to what extent?" Master Liu hurriedly asked.
Xiao Zhang glanced back at Master Liu's kiln and said, "It's not serious, it's just two muffled sounds, Master Liu can trust Xiao Zhang?"
Master Liu was stunned, silent on the other end of the phone for three seconds, and then said, "I believe you." ”
"Okay, then you can hand over this kiln to me, and I'll deal with it. After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he handed the phone to the person before.
The man took the phone, nodded repeatedly, and hung up.
"Brother Xiao Zhang, Master Liu said that I will listen to you next, but this ......" The man looked at Xiao Zhang with some embarrassment.
"Do you have a better way?" Xiao Zhang asked rhetorically, this person looked to be in his forties, and he was probably a veteran, but he had never experienced such a thing as frying a kiln.
"What can I do, I haven't encountered this situation in the past ten years with Master Liu!" the man said sadly.
Xiao Zhang nodded and said to the workers who were blocking: "I have obtained Master Liu's consent to deal with the problem of this kiln, you can get out of the way." Xiao Zhang said lightly.
The workers glanced at each other and did not continue to stop Xiao Zhang.
After all, none of these people can solve this problem.
This kind of thing is actually rare, and many kiln masters may not be able to encounter it.
The main reason for the formation of the kiln is mostly the failure to do a good job of meticulous work, resulting in mistakes.
Although Xiao Zhang has never experienced a fried kiln, he has a lot of searching for the cause of the problem and the solution in his mind.
Basically, the main thing that forms a frying kiln is that there are more pottery, or the body of porcelain is prone to frying kilns.
The first point may be that the blank body is too thick, and the blank is not in place, resulting in the thickness of the blank body will occur during firing.
The second point is that the humidity is high, and the green body entering the kiln must be dry and thorough, otherwise it is easy to fry the kiln.
Finally, there is the problem of temperature, many kilns are especially easy to fry when the temperature is 400 degrees.
Therefore, many masters fire porcelain only after 300 degrees of kiln doors, in order to let the moisture in the kiln dissipate before proceeding.
This kind of thing rarely happens in Xiao Zhang's Ru porcelain firing, mainly because the body of Ru porcelain is very thin, and after the second firing, the body must be dry, so the probability of frying the kiln is not large.
But Tang Sancai is a half-pottery and half-porcelain half-glazed ware, if the body is thicker, the temperature is not well controlled, it is still very possible to form a fried kiln, of course, as long as the master is more attentive, this kind of thing will not happen, but everything is afraid of what happens.
Today, this case was caught up by Xiao Zhang.
In fact, it's not a big deal, it's nothing more than a piece of porcelain in the kiln that is fried, and it is good to clean up a large piece of it in time.
If it is fried a lot of pieces in a row, then it proves that there are problems with this kiln porcelain, it must be that the body is thick, or it is not dry, then the kiln must be stopped, otherwise the result will be completely destroyed.
The second is that there is only one explosion, then it may be a separate incident, and the scattered pieces are likely to affect other porcelain that is still being fired, and only the large pieces that are blown off need to be taken out, of course, various precautions need to be taken.
There is only the third type that is the most worrying or shocking, and that is the explosion of the kiln...... Someone buried explosives in the porcelain, and directly blew up the kiln mouth...... Don't even want to live.
So this kind of problem is still rare.
As for the first two, it would be good to solve them in time.
Xiao Zhang asked the workers to put on protective measures again, and then stepped forward.
It had been several minutes since the last muffled sound, and Xiao Zhang's heart was a little nervous.
I have it in my head, but I haven't actually done it.
Now the temperature of the kiln has reached 800 degrees, which is already the highest temperature of low-temperature firing for firing Tang Sancai.
At this time, you can slowly open the kiln door and take out the pieces inside, but the temperature in the kiln will definitely continue to drop.
Fortunately, Tang Sancai is originally a low-temperature firing, so the impact is not very large.
Xiao Zhang was going to determine the location of the fried Tang Sancai through the observation window first......
