Abstract
The characteristics of sintering for Mullite-Cordierite (MC) composites and the effect of $TiO_2$ addition were studied. The MC composites were manufactured by a solution-polymerization method using PVA as a polymer carrier, and $TiO_2$ was used as a sintering agent. They were calcined at $1300^{\circ}C$, planetary milled for 4 h and sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$. As cordierite content increased, relative density of materials was increased up to $98\%$ and sinterability was improved. In case of $50\;wt\%$ mullite/$5\;wt\%$ cordierite composition sintered for 16 h, the flexural strength and thermal expansion coefficient were 190 MPa and $3.07{\times}0^{-6}/^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, mechanical properties were decreased with the cordierite contents higher than $50\;wt\%$ because of the excess liquid-phase amount. As the addition of $TiO_2$ is increased, columnar crystal of mullite and liquid-phase contents were increased. In particular, the flexural strength and thermal expansion coefficient decreased in case of $5\;wt\%\;TiO_2$ addition.
