Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a porous mullite composition improved in thermal shock factor.SOLUTION: The porous mullite composition is made by forming a mixture of one or more precursor compounds having the elements present in mullite (e.g., clay, alumina, silica) and a property-enhancing compound. The property-enhancing compound is a compound having an element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ca, Fe, Na, K, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, B, Y, Sc, La and combination thereof. The mixture is shaped to form a porous green shape, which then is heated under an atmosphere having a fluorine-containing gas to a temperature sufficient to form a mullite composition comprised substantially of acicular mullite grains that are essentially chemically bound.
