A bstract Frits of oxides of lithium, barium, calcium, and magnesium combined with calcined alumina and pulverized flint were substituted for feldspar in a dry‐press whiteware body. Three series of bodies were studied which contained (1) about one half the normal RO content, (2) the normal RO content, and (3) about three times the normal RO content. Firing behavior and mechanical properties of the various bodies in the vitreous and semi‐vitreous range were determined, and the results are reported in this paper.
