Mullite Ceramic

Ceramic Resistor Cores

Mullite ceramics are high temperature ceramic material with good mechanical strength, and excellent thermal shock properties due to its relatively low thermal expansion coefficient.  Mullite ceramic is a good lower cost alternative to dense alumina.  Typical applications include, but are not limited to, thermocouple applications, furnace muffle tubes, kiln rollers, sight tubes, rods and kiln furniture.
