State whether the following is true or false.
Mullite can form during the firing of a clay body rather than being added as a raw material.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Metakaolin converts to mullite above about a thousand degrees, so the mineral appears without anyone having supplied it. Refractory formulations may add mullite as well where more of it is wanted. In-situ formation is a considerable convenience in fireclay refractories.
