Abstract

The thermomechanical properties of materials from the system Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2(Tialite-Mullite) were investigated by correlating the thermal expansion anisotroypy, flexural strength and Young's modulus with grain size and atructural microcracking during cooling. Microcracking temperatures were determined by measuring the hysteresis of the thermal expansion anisotropy with dilatometry. Single phase Aluminium Titanate is a low strength material, while composites with more than 10 vol% mullite as second phase enhance the Young's modulus, thermal expansion coefficient and room temperature strength.
