Mullite Formations: Analysis and Applications

Mullite is the most important crystalline phase in fired products belonging to the Al₂O₃–SiO₂ mullite system, such as whiteware articles used in daily life (e.g., low- and high-temperature hard porcelain, sanitaryware, and structural clay products). Mullite has attracted increasing interest due to its excellent high-temperature strength and creep resistance, good chemical and thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, and good dielectric properties. Mullitization has been a subje...
