Investigation Of Perlite Added Ceramic Body Properties

Perlite is a type of volcanic glass that formed in nature as result the cooling magma lava and contains water droplets its structure. It raw material not harmful to health, environmentally friendly, easy use because it produced at high temperatures. The properties this enable be used many fields industry have factors determining study titled "Investigation Added Ceramic Body Properties". In art ceramics, while artists create their clay; they add alternative materials provide flexibility, reduce weight large-sized forms, different textures aesthetic qualities. There are wide variety organic inorganic added body. This study, was aimed determine usability additive ratios perlite ceramic bodies. recipes were prepared by adding 0%, 3%, 5%, 7% chamotte casting slip. bodies fired 950°C 1200°C. Perlite-added compared with perlite-free bodies, total shrinkage absorption tests carried out. As experiments out line study; has been observed causes deformation slip, no occurs all chamotte. positive effects on color sintering both clay types, regardless firing temperature.
