The Effect of $MnO_{2}$ on the Characteristics of an Infrared Radiator of Cordierite System with Pressing Method

成形法에 따른 Cordierite系 赤外線 放射體의 諸特性에 미치는 $MnO_{2}$의 影響

An infrared radiator of cordierite system were manufactured byslurry casting anddry pressing method. The characteristics of cordierite (2MgO.2Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$.5SiO$_{2}$)+30wt% clay+Xwt% MnO$_{2}$ of infrared radiator have been investigated as a function of MnO$_{2}$ additives (X=0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5). The thermal expansioncoefficient was decreased with increasing amounts of MnO$_{2}$ additives. Otherwise, the spectral emissivity was increased in the below 4.5.mu.m wavelength. Also, the infrared radiator of cordierite system which spectral emissivity was approximately 1.0 can be attainable at from 4.5.mu.m to 8.mu.m wavelength. The spectral emissivity was decreased from 8.mu.m to 14.mu.m above X=2.5.
