Global Fused Mullite Market Definition

Fused Mullite is made by fusing high-purity alumina and silica in an electric furnace. Fused Mullite is used in a variety of applications including refractories for the glass and steel industries, kiln furniture, investment casting as shell building materials, spark plug bodies, and many more. In the needle-shaped crystal structure, Fused Mullite is melted in an electric arc furnace with industrial alumina and high-purity quartz sand as the main raw materials. It has a high hardness and a low high-temperature creep, as well as excellent breaking strength and refractoriness under load.

It is frequently used as a raw material in the production of high-quality refractories such as glass kiln furnace lining bricks and steel industry hot wind furnace bricks. To name a few applications, it is also used in ceramic kilns and the petrochemical industry. Fused Mullite fines are used in Foundry coatings due to their thermal shock resistance and non-wettability.

Global Fused Mullite Market Overview

The increasing number of applications and benefits offered by Fused Mullite is the growth factors of the Fused Mullite Market. A high-quality White Fused Mullite that is widely used in the manufacture of steel, glass, and ceramic refractories. Electrofusion of calcined alumina from the Bayer process with low iron silica results in this product. The major phases were identified as mullite with traces of glass and corundum by X-ray Diffraction. Mullite, the most stable phase of the alumino-silicate system, is rare in nature and is invariably contaminated by other rock formations and contaminants. The use of synthetic mullite provides complete control over the chemistry and physical properties of the final ceramic system.

Market growth is being driven by rising demand for high-temperature Fused Mullite refractory products in a variety of end-use industries such as glass, steel, electronics, and others.  Fused Mullite is widely used in a variety of industries, particularly in the production of refractory products. Because of its high refractoriness, low thermal expansion, excellent thermal shock resistance, and good chemical stability, it is ideal for use in steelmaking, glass manufacturing, ceramics production, and petrochemical refining. Smart manufacturing is becoming more popular, which is boosting market growth.

However, the availability of high-quality alumina and silica raw materials is critical for the production of fused mullite. Any changes in the availability or cost of these raw materials can have an impact on the price and supply of fused mullite. Price volatility in the raw material market can reduce the economic viability of the manufacturing process and affect market stability.
