A thorough study of the factors which affect the firing behavior of structural clay materials is reported. The twenty materials which were investigated for length‐change behavior previously ( J. Am. Ceram. Soc. , 34 [12] 361–65 (1951)) were studied for oxidation behavior. The methods of investigation which were used on these materials included differential thermal analyses, oxidation‐rate determinations, and length‐change determinations. The technique employed in securing the data, as well as a discussion of the results, is given. Particular emphasis is placed on the manner in which the information was used to draft firing schedules. Changes in fuel and time are cited. It was found that the carbon oxidation rate is influenced considerably by temperature; some types oxidize rapidly at 1000°F.; others oxidize slowly at 1000°F. and rapidly at 1400°F.
