Aluminum Titanate (Al2TiO5)

The special property of aluminium titanate (Al₂TiO₅) is its very good thermal shock resistance.Components made from this material can withstand even abrupt temperature changes of several hundred degrees without damage, even though they have low strength.

The good thermal shock resistance results from the very low thermal expansion and a certain porosity in the structure. The low wettability of this ceramic material with molten metals also makes it ideal for use in foundry technology and metallurgical melting. In the future, aluminium titanate could play a greater role in automotive and energy technology, for example for exhaust gas aftertreatment and thermal insulation of fuel cell components.
