A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICRYSTALLINE CERAMIC BODY CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING TEMPERATURES OVER ABOUT 1200*C. AND BEING RELATIVELY UNAFFECTED BY REDUCING 1200*C. AND BEING RELATIVELY UNAFFECTED BY REDUCING ATMOSPHERES, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF MELTING A GLASS-FORMING COMPOSITION CONSISTING, BY WEIGHT OF ABOUT 40-65% OF SIO2, ABOUT 15-35% OF AL2O3, ABOUT 5-28% OF MGO, AND ABOUT 5-25% OF ZRO2 AS A NUCLEATING AGENT, THE TOTAL OF SAID SIO2, AL2O3, MGO, AND ZRO2 COMPRISING AT LEAST ABOUT 90% OF SAID COMPOSITION AND UP TO 10% TOTAL OF THE COMPATIBLE METAL OXIDES B2O3, PBO, MNO, AND CR2O3, SIMULTANEOUSLY COOLING HTE MELT BELOW THE TRANSFORMATION POINT OF SAID MELT AND SHAPING A BODY THEREFROM THEREAFTER EXPOSING SAID BODY TO A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST ABOUT 900*C. BUT NOT OVER ABOUT 1350*C., FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT TO ATTAIN THE DESIREED CRYSTALLIZATION, AND THEN COOLING SAID SHAPE TO ROOM THEMPERTURE.
