It is known that the working rate of industrial equipment is determined by the working capacity of the ceramic components used in the design. Thus, the production of equipment for the isothermal deformation of titanium alloys depends on the capacity of the ceramic backing tiles to withstand high heating rates to temperatures of 1000-1100~ It is known that the magnitude of the temperature coefficient of linear expansion ~ in its physical essentials is the primary cause of thermal stresses, especially during frequent heating of the articles in operation. Thus, low values of ~ in quartz ceramic ensure that it has a high thermal-shock resistance.It is useful to know the behavior of ceramics with different ~ values in conditions of heating with high rates of thermal loading, for example when testing on a gasdynamic rig in a current of high-temperature gas. Such a method was used to assess material based on magnesia-spinel ceramic [i].In the present article we present the results of determining the resistance to frequent hearings of materials having a dense structure and which are based on high-alumina ceramics containing 3%* fluxes (B203, SiO 2, CaO) [2]; quartz ceramic [3]; fusion-cast corundum Kor-93 prepared from the melt [4]; mullite chamotte (63% Al=Os) and its mixture with 9 and 13%electrocorundum; high-temperature chamotte (83% A1203) [5,6]; mixtures of corundum and zircon containing 74.2% of A1203, 17.7% ZrSiO~, 5.8% MgO, 2.3% silicone resin K-9 [7][ aluminum titanate % [8]; mixtures of corundum with aluminum titanate (50:50) with an addition of 9% Si02 on 100% [9]. *Here and subsequently, mass parts are stated. %Specimens of aluminum titanate provided by V.
