20. A method of manufacturing a ceramic article, comprising:
-
providing an inorganic batch composition comprising a magnesia source, a silica source, an alumina source, a titania source, and at least one sintering aid; mixing the inorganic batch composition together with one or more processing aid selected from the group consisting of a plasticizer, lubricant, binder, pore former, and solvent, to form a plasticized ceramic precursor batch composition; shaping the plasticized ceramic precursor batch composition into a green body; and firing the green body under conditions effective to convert the green body into a ceramic article comprising a pseudobrookite phase comprising predominately alumina, magnesia, and titania and a second phase comprising cordierite, wherein the sintering aid comprises at least one of calcium oxide and strontium oxide. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
