What is porcelain?

Hello, i am here again to continue my blogging about gas range, and this time i cam across the word "porcelain" What is a porcelain anyway? I have heard the world porcelain on gasrange of la germania, and some of the people says it rusts easily and durable so i began to research more about porcelain and i prove them wrong, porcelain are very hard and not durable, its like hard as stone and strong as steel.

Porcelain was used in creating pots and vases. Porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating raw materials, generally including clay in the form of kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 °C (2,192 °F) and 1,400 °C (2,552 °F). The toughness, strength, and translucence of porcelain arise mainly from the formation of glass and the mineral mullite within the fired body at these high temperatures. Properties associated with porcelain include low permeability and elasticity; considerable strength, hardness, glassiness, brittleness, whiteness, translucence, and resonance; and a high resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock. - this makes porcelain tough -


FACTS:

Porcelain is made from 50 percent feldspar and 50 percent high quality clay that is fired at extremely high temperatures.

Porcelain are fired at 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, as opposed to the 1800 degrees Fahrenheit firing temperature, which allows to be much more impervious to water than ceramic tile.
