Earthenware is known as a type of clay bodies are only able to be burnt at a low temperature (900 \u00b0<\/sup> C-1180 \u00b0<\/sup> C) .Contoh ceramic products are made of clay bodies are earthenware Earthenware.<\/span> Some examples of types of clay products Earthenware others are bricks, tiles and terracotta.<\/span> Clay in the raw state obtained from the place of origin (deposit) has a variety of colors: beige, yellow-brown, red-brown, gray, and black, the color difference was much influenced by the comparison of the levels of content of clay materials include a mixture or dirt humus ( organic), iron oxide (Fe), manganese oxide (Mn), cupper oxide (Cu), cobalt oxide (Co), etc.<\/span><\/p>\n At the time of the combustion process that is both organic dirt will burn out, whereas chemically bonded materials will cause the clay to color.<\/span> In general, most Earthenware clay contains iron oxide (Fe).<\/span> The form of granules or particles that will provide a smooth and soft plastic bending properties or if it contains water that serves as a lubricant.<\/span><\/p>\n Earthenware clay plasticity high enough so that dry shrinkage and shrinkage fuel is also high, so the higher the plasticity of clay the higher the dry shrinkage and shrinkage fuel.<\/span> Another trait is fairly high porosity after experiencing the combustion process and this is because this clay still contains a lot of sand.<\/span> Given the porous nature allows water forming out of the ceramic body during the drying process so that the ceramic objects are not easily broken or cracked.<\/span> Changes in the structure of clay Earthenware from the combustion process:<\/span>

\n 1) The fuel temperature between 700 \u00b0<\/sup> C-900 \u00b0<\/sup> C easily broken<\/span>
\n 2) The temperature burn between 900 \u00b0<\/sup> C-1050 \u00b0<\/sup> C is safe<\/span>
\n 3) fuel temperature between 1050 \u00b0<\/sup> C-1180 \u00b0<\/sup> C maximum<\/span>
\n 4) The fuel temperature above 1180 \u00b0<\/sup> C will burn even melt.<\/span>
