dc.description.abstractThe melting of glass depends on the generation of high temperatures and suitable containers for the molten glass. Attempt is made to develop these containers for molten glass from local refractory clay materials comprising of Kaolin from Kankara Katsina State whose deposit has been found to be of economic value and ball clay from Bomo-village - Zaria, Kaduna State. Five different composite bodies were prepared from the local clay materials, and have been used to cast refractory pots which were fired and tested for the following properties; (i) Refractoriness (ii) Thermal Shock resistance and (iii) Resistance to chemical attack by molten glass. All pots made were able to withstand high temperatures without crumbling although some showed higher crack formation. The refractory pots were able to withstand the chemical action of the molten glass of lead crystal and soda-lime silica glass batches. The composite body of 60% grog and 40% Kaolin was found to be the most suitable for the production of pots that would be used for melting glass, having showed the best results of the tests that were carried out, thus it is being recommended for the production of refractory pots for melting glass.en_US
