Abstract
Thermal transformation of two clays from Philippines at a temperature ranging from 900°C to 1200°C was studied using a scanning electron microscope. The fired clays clearly show changes in morphology during firing. Formation of mullite and cristobalite crystals was observed more clearly in Talakag clay than in Infanta clay. This is due to the presence of feldspar in the latter.
