Description

Cordierite-mullite kiln furniture is a refractory kiln furniture product with cordierite (2MgO·2Al₂O₃·5SiO₂) and mullite as the main crystalline phases, combining cordierite's low thermal expansion and excellent thermal shock resistance with mullite's high refractoriness under load and good high-temperature strength. Produced as shelves, saggers, posts, beams and pusher plates, it is the core kiln furniture material for carrying products in ceramic, electronic ceramic and magnetic material kilns.

Key Features

  • Low thermal expansion: linear expansion coefficient ≤ 2.0×10⁻⁶/°C at 20–1000°C, resistant to cracking under rapid heating and cooling.
  • Excellent thermal shock resistance: adapts to frequent temperature cycling and loading/unloading, offering long service life.
  • High refractoriness under load: strong load-bearing capacity at high temperature, shelves resist deformation.
  • Good high-temperature strength: stable product support, fewer firing defects.
  • Anti-sticking and erosion resistance: clean contact surface without sticking to green bodies.
  • Customizable shapes: shelves, posts, saggers etc. tailored to kiln type and product size.

Typical Applications

  • Shelves, posts and beams of ceramic roller kilns, tunnel kilns and shuttle kilns.
  • Setter plates and supports for electronic and structural ceramics.
  • Kiln furniture for magnetic material (soft ferrite, permanent magnet) kilns.
  • Saggers and plates for tableware, sanitaryware and industrial ceramics.
  • Pusher plates for pusher kilns of lithium battery cathode/anode materials.

FAQs

What is the difference between cordierite and mullite kiln furniture?

Cordierite has lower thermal expansion and better thermal shock resistance, suitable for kilns with frequent temperature changes and fast firing; mullite has higher refractoriness under load and greater high-temperature strength, suitable for heavy loads and higher temperatures. Cordierite-mullite composite furniture combines both advantages and is the mainstream general-purpose choice.

What is the maximum service temperature?

Standard cordierite-mullite kiln furniture serves at 1300–1400°C; special formulations can adapt to higher temperatures depending on conditions and custom design.

Can sizes be customized to my kiln and products?

Yes. Henan Songrui New Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. supports custom shelves, posts, beams, saggers and other special-shaped kiln furniture according to kiln type, product size and loading method.

How long does kiln furniture last?

Service life depends on firing temperature, loading method and maintenance level; under normal use, shelves generally last from several months to over a year, and proper maintenance significantly extends life.
