Fracture toughness and creep of mullite and mullite based composites

Mullite is considered a promising candidate for ceramic recuperators in turbo propelled engines, due to its low thermal conductivity, adequate thermal shock resistance, low cost, low density, thermodynamic stability, and reasonable strength at high temperatures. Unfortunately, the limited fracture t...
