Selecting the right kiln furniture for ceramic firing kilns can be a daunting task. But fret not, for mastering five core parameters can make the decision easier. This article delves into the advantages of cordierite kiln furniture in the high - temperature environment of 1000ºC–1300ºC, specifically its low creep rate and thermal shock resistance.
From the perspective of materials science, the chemical composition of cordierite plays a crucial role in its low creep rate. Compared with other common kiln furniture materials, cordierite can maintain a more stable structure under high - frequency heating and cooling cycles. For example, in some kilns, traditional materials may experience a creep rate of 5 - 8% after 100 thermal cycles, while cordierite kiln furniture from Sunrise can keep the creep rate below 2%.
Thermal shock resistance is another key factor. The unique physical structure of cordierite allows it to better dissipate heat during sudden temperature changes. When a kiln experiences a rapid temperature change of 500 - 600ºC within minutes, cordierite kiln furniture shows excellent resistance, reducing the risk of cracking and breakage.
In the ceramic industry, the use of cordierite kiln furniture has significantly improved production efficiency. In a large - scale ceramic production plant, replacing traditional kiln furniture with Sunrise cordierite kiln furniture led to a 15 - 20% reduction in kiln downtime due to kiln furniture replacement. The same benefits can be seen in the refractory materials and electronic ceramics industries.
