This is intended to be as similar as possible to the plastic Plainsman cone 10R H550 body (additives darken the color and add speckle).

H550 Casting Body #6
Total:100.75 Notes *Last one not quite vitreous enough. This increases feldspar by 2% at the expense of kaolin. The porosity is the most similar to H550, however the surface has not greyed to the same extent.

H550 Casting Body #7
Total:100.75 Notes *The previous version, L2596F, was not quite vitreous enough again. This increases feldspar from 22 to 24, silica 30 to 28 and switches from M-23 to KT1-4 ball clay.

H550 Casting Body #8
Total:102.25 Notes *Custer Feldspar is not available right now so I am reformulating using Nepheline Syenite instead (it is more potent as a flux so less is needed). I am also reducing the silica (28% seems too much for a cone 10 body). Imco C-Red is also being used to gray the color, it does not gel the slurry like iron oxide does. This recipe is likely to need tuning, that will be evident when we see the porosity figures from the SHAB test. Pictures Testdata SHAB - Shrinkage/Absorption
