In glass-ceramic design, the two most crucial factors are composition and microstructure
both factors control the ability to form a glass and determines its degree of workability. The …

The main goal of this work is to study the effects of some transition metal-oxides, ie ZnO,
TiO2, and Fe2O3, on inhibition of spinel formation during cordierite fabrication from granite …

In the present work, cordierite ceramics are prepared through the solid reaction method
using calcined alumina, silica fume, and talc as starting materials. Pressed samples and …

The microstructural evolution and sintering behavior of powder compacts composed of β-
eucryptite–cordierite with different particle size distributions were prepared by a temperature …

Abundant availability of fly ash due to the combustion of coal in thermal power plants
presents a major threat to rising environmental pollution. To preserve the environment, fly …

Cordierite-based ceramics were fabricated from Moroccan natural halloysite clay by using a
simple and low-cost manufacturing method. To this end, peridotite and halloysite samples …

In order to study the reaction process and mechanism of the system of cordierite with
