Kam Tai refractory Cordierite slab 360*310*20mm for tunnel kiln
1. Introduction
Cordierite has excellent thermal shock resistance, good strength
and can be formed by pressing, extruding, casting and vibrating
into complex shapes. Cordierite mullite kiln furniture is widely
used in porcelain, heavy clay, glass panel, powder metallurgy,
magnetic materials, green energy, food, glass, abrasives, iron and
steel, mining and aerospace engineering.
As noted, a continuous crystal matrix is the object of cordierite
creation (not just the presence of the crystals in an otherwise
typical ceramic). Notwithstanding this, cordierite powder is
available, it is prefired and finely ground. It can be plasticized
for forming and bonded during firing (at much lower than normal
cordierite creation temperatures) to produce a ceramic that
certainly has lower expansion.
The practicality of cordierite, as a refractory, can be better
appreciated when comparing it to alumina. Although alumina by
itself, is more refractory than cordierite, it is also much more
prone to cracking when subjected to thermal shock. By comparison,
cordierite has low expansion and much less expensive. No wonder
that cordierite kiln shelves are common.
While cordierite ceramic vessels could be made (e.g. ovenware), the
material has such a low thermal expansion it is very difficult (or
impossible) to match a glaze (without crazing). Notwithstanding
this, many recipes can be found for cordierite ovenware or
flameware. However these are seldom fired above cone 10 so any
thermal shock resisting behavior they have is attributable to grog
content or open fired matrix rather than to any cordierite
development (which is of course not happening).
