Refractory coating based on cordierite for application in new evaporate pattern casting process

Standard raw materials, kaolin, talc, MgO, alumina, feldspar and sepiolite, were used in synthesis of four different cordierite type ceramics. Sintered cordierite was used as refractory filler in the ceramic coating for evaporative polystyrene patterns in the EPC process. The cordierite samples were...

Summary:Standard raw materials, kaolin, talc, MgO, alumina, feldspar and sepiolite, were used in synthesis of four different cordierite type ceramics. Sintered cordierite was used as refractory filler in the ceramic coating for evaporative polystyrene patterns in the EPC process. The cordierite samples were tested by the following methods: roentgen diffraction analysis, diffraction thermal analysis and polarized microscope. The shape and grain size were analyzed by the program package OZARIA 2.5. In order to evaluate the possible application of cordierite as the refractory filler, four different coating processes were investigated.
