Abstract
This report presents the results of an experimental study of the effects of Na2O on the thermal shock resistance (number of cold shock cycles to failure) of aluminosilicate refractory ceramics. The addition of 4–6% mole is shown to improve the thermal shock resistance, which is characterized by the number of shock cycles to failure. The Na2O changes the viscosity-temperature characteristics, and the glass transition temperatures in ways that enhance the crack-tip shielding due to viscoelastic/grain bridging mechanisms. The improved thermal shock resistance is attributed to the shielding effects of viscoelastic crack bridging by glassy phases between mullite platelets
