1. Description
Benefits such as high thermal conductivity, low mass, light weight,
stability (i.e., no warping), and resistance to glaze sticking and
penetration have gained these kiln posts increasing acceptance from
artists, educators, production potters, and tile manufacturers.
Despite their popularity, questions are often raised regarding the
appropriateness of the shelves’ use in resistance element electric
kilns. Specifically, “Are they safe to use in my electric kiln?”
While it is true that some forms of silicon carbide are
specifically designed to conduct electricity (such as heating
elements), the internal bond matrix—and especially the glassy,
oxide layer that is intentionally fired onto the surface of kiln
posts—dramatically lowers their electrical conductivity compared to
other types of silicon carbide kiln posts. As a result, the
electrical conductivity value of kiln post is low enough to be
considered safe for use in top-loading electric kilns.
In addition, as the kiln post are fired repeatedly in an electric
kiln’s oxidizing atmosphere, the glassy layer continues to
accumulate and further reduces the rate of conductivity. The use of
cordierite or similar post compositions also eliminates the
possibility of current being conducted from one level of shelves to
another, should element contact occur on a lower shelf.
