Description
Summary:Ceramics is a crafting / diligence product and technology that stay existing since the ancient era until now. Ancient definition about ceramics is a product comes from clay burned at high temperature until a changes of properties is happened. As time goes by, ceramic definition started turns into ‘all nonmetallic an inorganic materials which is in the compact form so that its inclusion is broader, either in the case of material and also its function, so that ceramics was divided into 2 main groups, traditional ceramics and modern ceramics. Although traditional ceramics is an ancient product, traditional ceramics still stay until now and experiences fast development especially in supply of requirement elements of household. Seen from feedstock, traditional ceramics will not extinct, being remembered that clay was a very abundance component of traditional ceramics. In this final thesis, traditional ceramics fabrication will be studied by using clay as feedstock and Carbon to increase ceramics strength at the same time lessens time firing-process in traditional ceramics making. There are various Carbon : Clay ratio variation. To obtain ceramics strength that is produced, characterization in the form of compress test was done.
