Cordierite-Mullite Ceramic Honeycomb Descriptions
Cordierite-Mullite Ceramic Honeycomb combines the superior properties of cordierite and mullite ceramics to offer an exceptional material solution. Cordierite ceramic, a magnesium aluminum silicate, is renowned for its excellent thermal shock resistance, low thermal conductivity, and minimal thermal expansion. These attributes make it a cost-effective choice for applications requiring rapid temperature fluctuations, such as kiln furniture.
Mullite, on the other hand, is celebrated for its high-temperature stability, remarkable strength, and resistance to creep. Additionally, mullite possesses a low dielectric constant and outstanding electrical insulation properties, making it an ideal structural material for demanding environments.
