Cordierite for catalytic converters

A cordierite perspective The cordierite is issued from sedimentary rocks. Deposits can be found in Sri Lanka, India, Burma, Madagascar, USA and Canada. It has a high thermal resistance and is a relatively strong material. However, it has a high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and a relatively low density. Cordierite is a high volume […]
