Zirconium tin titanate compositions, ceramic bodies comprising same, and methods of manufacturing same

Abstract:

Disclosed is a microcracked ceramic body, comprising a predominant phase (greater than 50 wt %) of zirconium tin titanate and a dilatometric coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) from 25 to 1000 C of not more than 40.times.10.sup.-7.degree. C..sup.-1 as measured by dilatometry and methods for the manufacture of the same.
