Abstract: The simulation software of the temperature field within ceramic tile in the firing process has been established by applying heat trans fer theory and VB. By means of this software the temperature dis tribution of the inner tile has beens imulated. Temperature difference of ceramic tile during different firing period and different soaking time has been studied. The s imulation results can be used to guide actual production process .
