CORDIERITE-CONTAINING CERAMIC BODIES, BATCH COMPOSITION MIXTURES, AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING CORDIERITE-CONTAINING CERAMIC BODIES

摘要

A cordierite-containing ceramic body with %P ≥ 50%, df ≤ 0.50, and a combined weight percentage of crystalline phases containing cordierite and indialite of at least 85 wt%. The porous ceramic body contains, as expressed on a relative oxide weight percent basis in terms of MgO, Al₂O₃, and SiO₂ that is within a field defined by (15.4, 34.1, and 50.5), (12.2, 34.1, and 53.7), (13.3, 31.2, and 55.5), and (16.6, 31.1, and 52.3). Batch composition mixtures and methods of manufacturing a porous ceramic body using the batch compositions are provided, as are other aspects.
