Refractory high temperature Cordierite kiln post used for sanitary ware
1. Description
Cordierite makes the ceramic manufacture of products like catalytic
converters possible. They constantly heat up and cool down quickly
and must not crack because of the shock. These converters get their
thermal shock resistance properties from a bonded matrix of
low-expansion cordierite crystals. These crystals form during
firing between 1300 to 1400C (interestingly, cordierite crystals
have a lesser thermal expansion along one axis than another). Thus,
the better the density of the precursor mix and controlled the
firing the better the properties of the cordierite material are.
The ideal chemistry to produce the crystals is 13.8% MgO, 34.8% Al2O3 and 51.4% SiO2 (2MgO, 2Al2O3, 5SiO2). Talc, kaolin and raw alumina powder can be blended to produce
this chemistry (other materials are also used e.g. aluminum
hydroxide, steatite and other MgO minerals). Compound materials
(like kaolin and talc) react better than pure oxide materials (like
MgO, Al2O3, SiO2). Materials of finer particle size react better.
A simple firing to 1300C (about cone 11 and within the reach of
many ordinary kilns) and soaked may produce some crystal
development. However firing (actually sintering) at 1400C+ with
significant soaking time is needed for the best results. Thermal
expansion measuring equipment is needed to determine if your firing
is actually developing the crystal matrix or not.
