Kyanite decomposition and volume expansion

The exact range depends strongly particle size, firing rate, soak time and purity of the kyanite. Fine particles convert earlier and more completely; coarse particles convert more gradually. Associated specific gravity change from 3.6 to about 3.0. As the Kyanite crystal structure breaks down mullite crystals form in their place and free silica is released. The crystal rearrangement creates a volume increase of 4-8%.
