Abstract
Attempts were made to develop mullite bodies with desired properties for special
applications. Mullite was prepared by calcination of alumina and clay from indigenous
sources. Bodies capable of sintering at 1500°C were prepared using synthetic mullite
with some amount of raw mix. Mullite ware of a density over 90% theoretical with
no open porosity and sufficient thermal shock resistance were prepared by slip casting
and sintering at 1400°C. Thermal shock resistance and permeability of the ware have
been studied.
