Description

Pyrophyllite (Aluminium silicate) is a machinable mineral which, after heat treatment, assumes many of the properties of fired ceramics. It is ideal for prototypes, experimental and pilot scale productions where high accuracy is required on small parts. When this material is heat treated it hardens and its properties change; we therefore supply Pyrophyllite in three grades:

  • The natural material. Extremely easy to fabricate, but of rather low strength.
  • Heat treated to 800 - 1000 °C. This grade is characterized by its low thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion, resulting in very good thermal shock resistance. This version of the heat-treated material can be machined to final size with tungsten carbide tools.
  • Heat treated to 1250 - 1300 °C. This grade is characterized by its excellent electrical properties, high strength and hardness. This version of the heat-treated material can only be machined with diamond tooling.

Typical characteristics of the Pyrophyllite material include: Machinable, thermally insulating, good thermal shock properties, good mechanical stability once fired. Typical characteristics of the Pyrophyllite material include: Machinable, thermally insulating, good thermal shock properties, good mechanical stability once fired. The key features of Pyrophyllite Heat Treated at 800 °C - 1000 °C are: Poor heat conductivity (Thermal insulator), good resistance to thermal shock, low coefficient of thermal expansion, good mechanical stability, can still be machined for final sizes with Tungsten carbide tools. When fired to 800 °C - 1000 °C around 1.75 - 2.0 % expansion occurs and must be allowed for when machining, however when fired to these temperatures sizes can be adjusted with carbide tools. Components fired to 1000 °C can be operated continuously at that temperature.
