Incorporation of up to 0.4 wt% Na 2 O was found in the mullites of fused‐cast mullite brick. Sodium oxide incorporation probably requires very high temperatures and persists only when the material is quenched rapidly to room temperature; it may be stabilized by simultaneous entry ofZr 4+ into the mullite structure.
