Abstract

A low thermal expansion ceramic, cordierite ($2MgO{\cdot}2Al_2O_3{\cdot}5SiO_2$), was synthesized using pyrophyllite. Pyrophyllite usually consists of $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$, which are the main components of cordierite. $MgCO_3$ and $Al(OH)_3$ were added in various amounts to pyrophyllite and fired for synthesis and sintering. ${\alpha}$-cordierite crystallized from $1000^{\circ}C$ with mixing of 20 wt% $MgCO_3$ and 1.7 wt% $Al(OH)_3$, and un-reacted cristobalite was also detected with the cordierite. As the temperature was increased to $1400^{\circ}C$, the cordierite yield was gradually increased. Powder compacts of the synthesized cordierite were sintered between $1250^{\circ}C{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$; the sintered samples showed a low thermal expansion coefficient of $2.1{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ and typical sintering behavior. It is anticipated that it will be possible to synthesize cordierite ceramics on a mass production scale using the mineral pyrophyllite.
