Abstract

A high-strength, light-weight, fired clay body which is characterized by relatively greater surface oxidation than interior oxidation with accompanying surface layer shrinkage. The clay body is quick-dried and quick-fired to substantially uniformly oxidize the surface layer to maturity while maintaining the interior of the body in a relatively unoxidized and unfired condition.
