Phase Formation of α-Cordierite Using Different Sintering Profile

Article Preview

Abstract:

ndialite or α-cordierite was synthesized by glass crystallization method. Effect of different sintering profile; single stage sintering (1s) and two stages sintering (2s) on phase formation was determined via x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis using rietvield method of HighScore Plus software. It has been found that 1s produce 85 % of α-cordierite with 15 % anorthite as secondary phase while, α-cordierite appeared about 68.6 % with 24.3 % anorthite and 7.1 % forsterite as secondary phase using 2s sintering profile.
