Andalusite is an aluminum silicate mineral, which is the raw material for manufacture of refractories and porcelain in the spark plug. Andalusite is in pink, red, reddish-brown, gray and light green, with shiny glass. Some good quality and transparent andalusite crystals also used as a gem.
Broader of andalusite use After following the processing of ultrafine mill, in view of the physical and chemical properties of andalusite with one of the currently known high-quality refractories. In addition to advanced refractories, technical ceramics industry raw materials for smelting industry, it also smelting high-strength lightweight silicon aluminum alloy, making metal fiber, and the use of supersonic aircraft and spacecraft oriented. According to reports, foreign yet mullite coal gasification and production of radomes. Part of the crystallization of a good, bright color can also be made crafts and decorations. Its field of application is still expanding.
