Abstract

The clay resources from Kampung Cheker. Pasir Puteh and Bukit Pak Junus Pasir Mas both in Kelantan were used to formulate triaxial hard porcelain bodies. In the research study the following formulations were prepared: PHi with Kampung Cheker clay and PH2 with Bukit Pak Junus clay. The characterization tests were carried out on both bodies fired at temperature s of 1200C i220DC 1250DC and 1280C. The tests include density measurement water absorption brightness testing and flexural strength. At 1220D C PHi and PH2 showed the best firing temperature in terms of flexural strength and water absorption. However. at 1250DC PHi and 1280DC PH2 the flexural strength was observed to decrease remarkably. This could be due to phase transformation occurring dUring overtiring. Comparatively the fired bodies of PHi with lower Fe10j 0.26 were slightly brighter than PH2 0.3i Fe20j. The tests indicated that both Kampung Cheker and Bukit Pak Junus clays were found to be suitable raw materials for the production of hard porcelains. It was also found that Kampung Cheker clay could also be used for the manufacture of finer quality whitewares.
