White fused mullite is created in an electric arc furnace, like white fused alumina oxide, using a high purity alumina but also adding in silica. This fused combination of materials has a unique crystal shape that lends well to certain applications.
Applications:
- Investment cast shell or monoliths
- Kiln furniture
- Blocks for glass melting furnaces
- Other refractory applications
Physical Characteristics:
- Melting Point: ~3362° F (1860° C)
- Shape: Orthorhombic Crystal
- Excellent thermal stability
- High resistance to thermal shock
- High resistance to chemical corrosion
