Cordierite Porcelain

 

 

Cordierite porcelain (2MgO•2Al2O3•5SiO2) also known simply as cordierite, is a magnesium aluminum silicate produced by fusing a mixture of talc, clay and aluminum oxide. Cordierite and cordierite mineral precursors are also known as magnesium-alumino silicate, dichroite and iolite. Cordierite porcelain has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, high mechanical strength, and low dielectric loss. Cordierite is commonly fabricated into insulator or insulating substrate due to its good dielectric properties. Cordierite has excellent thermal shock resistance, withstanding red heat to ice water quench, and then returned to red heat. High fire cordierite body will withstand a temperature rise from 70º to 1800º in 80 seconds, followed by an immediate room temperature air quench.
