ABSTRACT
This research studied the potential use of local basalt and feldspar from Lampung Province, Indonesia, as glaze materials. Frit(s) are composed of changing basalt-to-feldspar weight ratios of A (30:70), B (50:50), C (70:30), and D (100:0) w/w%. The added 20% boric acid to the total weight reduces the process temperature to 1,000oC with holding times of 1, 4, and 8 hr(s). Based on the chemical composition test of the specimen, the four variations of the sample have SiO2 content above 40%, and the average SiO2/Al2O3 ratio is 4 and 5, which is usually a low-alumina glaze that will cause a glossy effect and have an amorphous structure. At point 2theta 29o, amorphous forms. Quartz (SiO2), albite (NaAlSi3O8), anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8), and coesite (SiO2) phases were discovered in the glaze specimens. The anorthite phase in glass-ceramic glaze gives a transparent glaze color due to the amorphous glassy phase formed during heat treatment. The findings of this study suggest that local materials based on basalt and feldspar may be used as glaze materials to provide a smooth texture and surface; the glaze layer is evenly distributed, can follow the full surface contour of the test specimen, and has low porosity.
