Synthetic Forsterite
Forsterite Designations:
Chemical Name: Forsterite
Chemical Formula: 2MgO-SiO4
Forsterite General Description:
Forsterite is a stoichiometric Magnesium Orthosilicate utilized for applications requiring a high coefficient of thermal expansion. It is calcined and milled under controlled conditions and can be modified to meet priority specifications
Forsterite Nominal Chemistry Available:
a) MgO= 56.0%, and SiO2= 43.0
b) Natural forsterite is also available and it has a high iron content (8-10%) as Fayalite
Forsterite Theoretical Analysis:
MgO= 56.0% and SiO2= 43.0%
