Relation between the properties and purity of synthetic mullite ceramic

  • Published:
Refractories Aims and scope

Conclusions

The property indices of pure-mullite specimens are high and approach those of pure-oxide products, i.e., creep, volatility and the coefficient of thermal expansion are low, the high-temperature strength is good, spalling resistance is satisfactory, and electrical resistance high. These quality indices are degraded with the addition of impurities.

The properties of mullite 2Al2O3 · SiO2 are almost the same as those of mullite 3Al2O3 · 2SiO2 apart from slight differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion, the electrical resistivity and the strength.
