Cordierite Material with Increased Heat Resistance

Abstract

Ceramic materials based on cordierite Mg₂Al₄Si₅O₁₈ and their various compositions and methods of preparation are considered. Results of thermal shock resistance tests of ceramic samples of different compositions are presented. The thermal shock resistance of the obtained samples is >15 heat changes (1000°C – 15°C tap water). Cordierite material, which is proposed to be produced using only domestic raw materials, has good potential when used as a thermally stable catalyst support for controlling industrial emissions and automobile exhaust gases.
