Cordierite-mullite setter plate

Cordierite-Mullite Setter Plate — Product Specification & Description

1. Product Overview

The Cordierite-Mullite Setter Plate is a high-performance refractory tray designed for high-temperature kiln operations. By combining the low thermal expansion of cordierite with the high-temperature strength and creep resistance of mullite, this composite material offers an ideal balance of thermal shock durability, structural stability, and longevity. It is widely used as kiln furniture in sanitaryware, tableware, technical ceramics, and electrical insulator firing processes.

2. Key Features & Advantages

• Exceptional Thermal Shock Resistance: The low thermal expansion coefficient of cordierite allows the setter plate to endure rapid heating and cooling cycles without thermal cracking or splitting.

• High Load-Bearing Capacity: The addition of mullite provides superior bending strength and creep resistance at elevated temperatures, preventing sagging and warping under heavy thermal loads.

• Energy-Efficient Design: Lightweight and low thermal mass structures allow for faster kiln ramp times and reduced energy consumption per firing cycle.

• Long Service Life: Excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal fatigue ensures repeatable performance over hundreds of firing cycles.
