Evaluacion termica, mecanica y electrica de materiales compuestos cordierita-mullita

Commercially available cordierite and mullite powders were used to obtain cordierite and cordierite-30wt% mullite materials by attrition milling, uniaxial pressing and sintering. Cordierite powders were the coarse (D50 = 1.82 mum), medium (D50 = 0.9 mum) and fine (D50 = 0.45 mum) single granulometric fractions and binary mixtures of them. Mullite powder employed in composites was the 7 h-attrition milled one (D50 = 1.3 mum). Hardness (H V) and fracture toughness (K IC) were measured by Vickers indentation techniques. Composites showed higher H V and K IC than cordierite matrices. In both mater...
