Understanding the clay body formula refers to a specific formula that is composed of several types of clay or other materials that are mixed into a ceramic body mass. The numbers indicate the percentage of the existing clay or other materials used to construct formulas ceramic body.
In the development of the clay body formulas can be done by changing the composition or formula lainnya.Pengembangan reduce soil material, can be done in two ways, namely:
Mixture System Line
Line system is a mixture of clay body mixture developed by mixing two similar clay. Mixing the two types of clay is done by adding or subtracting the percentage of each type of clay used in order to obtain some formulas that are eligible for the manufacture of ceramic objects.
Mixture System Triangle
Mixture segitga system (triaxial blend) is a mixture of clay bodies developed by mixing three similar clay or other materials. The same thing also applies to mixtures involving three clay A, B and C.
Note the method of mixing the following triangular system
A clay
Besides the two types of the mixture, you can also develop other types of mixtures consisting of four kinds of clay or other mineral materials by changing the composition of the mixture. Thus there are many types of formulas that can be obtained for test materials. All materials used must be screened to 50-80 mesh strainer dry and fine grained.
