Cordierite is a Magnesium Alumina Silicate material. Its most
important feature is that it has a very low coefficient of thermal
expansion and excellent resistance to thermal shock. It is also similar to
Steatite in that it is relatively low cost, has good electrical insulation
properties, has moderate mechanical properties and temperature resistance,
and can readily be formed in a variety of shapes. In particular it can be
made in high volume through cost-effective extrusion or dry-pressing
methods.
Typical
characteristics include:
Low
thermal expansion coefficient
High resistance to thermal
shock.
Volume resistivity
Low dielectric loss factor
Moderate
strength
Low density
Typical
applications include:
Electrical insulators
High performance resistors
Heating
element supports
Burner tubes
Feed-thru insulators
Special
furnace shapes
Exhaust catalyst supports
