Abstract
The processes of mullitization of high-temperature ceramic mixtures containing metadiabase are investigated. The quantitative relationship between mullite, quartz, and plagioclase is demonstrated. It is established that the introduction of 30 wt.% metadiabase at firing temperatures of 1180–1200°C accelerates the mullitization process and facilitates the formation of mullite with a more perfect structure. Mullite in ceramic mixtures is mostly crystallized from the kaolinite residue, as well as from plagioclase grains.
