| Abstract Scope |
As a natural mineral containing high aluminum oxide, andalusite has been attracting a great attention for the production of refractory ceramics. When andalusite is transforming into mullite and silica at its decomposing temperature, it generates numerous crystals of mullite directly from a single crystal of andalusite, but with a parallel arrangement of the multiple mullite crystals. This will critically affect the microstructure of mechanical property of the result ceramics. This study discusses the relations of the microstructural characteristics and effective applications of this phase transformation through the decomposing process. |
