2. Description of the Related Art Alumina fibers are generally short fibers having a content of Al 2 O 3 of 70% by weight or more, and having a diameter of about 2 to 4 μm and a maximum length of about 100 mm mainly containing alumina and silica. .

[0003] Alumina fibers are polycrystals of only mullite, a mixture of mullite and corundum, or only corundum, depending on the alumina content. Therefore, there is no precipitation of new crystals by heating, and there is little deterioration of the fiber,
It can be used at around 1500 ° C. However, since it is expensive, it is rarely used alone. Often used with inexpensive alumina silica fibers.

Alumina-silica fibers have an Al 2 O 3 content of 40 to 65% by weight, and are amorphous short fibers having a diameter of about 2 to 4 μm and a maximum length of about 250 mm, which are mainly composed of alumina and silica. And the heat-resistant temperature is 1000 ° C. or higher.
Alumina-silica fibers are widely used in various industrial furnaces because of their properties, they are used as reinforcing fibers or are processed into amorphous products such as blankets, boards and kneaded materials. However, amorphous alumina silica fibers are 10
When heated to about 00 ° C., mullite crystals begin to precipitate, and at 1100 ° C. or higher, cristobalite crystals precipitate.

[0005] Mullite is heat stable and improves the heat resistance of the fibers. On the other hand, Cristobalite is 200-3
In the temperature range of 00 ° C., the coefficient of thermal expansion changes rapidly. Therefore, a fiber with a large amount of cristobalite is greatly deteriorated by heating or cooling. As the fiber deteriorates, the strength and heat resistance are reduced, and the fiber becomes dust and contaminates the heating target in the furnace.

[0003] Alumina fibers are polycrystals of only mullite, a mixture of mullite and corundum, or only corundum, depending on the alumina content. Therefore, there is no precipitation of new crystals by heating, and there is little deterioration of the fiber,
It can be used at around 1500 ° C. However, since it is expensive, it is rarely used alone. Often used with inexpensive alumina silica fibers.

Alumina-silica fibers have an Al 2 O 3 content of 40 to 65% by weight, and are amorphous short fibers having a diameter of about 2 to 4 μm and a maximum length of about 250 mm and containing alumina and silica as main components. And the heat-resistant temperature is 1000 ° C. or higher.
Alumina-silica fibers are widely used in various industrial furnaces because of their properties, they are used as reinforcing fibers or are processed into amorphous products such as blankets, boards and kneaded materials. However, amorphous alumina silica fibers are 10

[0005] Mullite is heat stable and improves the heat resistance of the fibers. On the other hand, Cristobalite is 200-3
In the temperature range of 00 ° C., the coefficient of thermal expansion changes rapidly. Therefore, a fiber with a large amount of cristobalite is greatly deteriorated by heating or cooling. As the fiber deteriorates, the strength and heat resistance are reduced, and the fiber becomes dust and contaminates the heating target in the furnace.
