Grinding effects on the synthesis and sintering of cordierite were investigated. The grinding of a precursor gel derived from colloidal processing promoted the homogeneous distribution of elements in the gel, resulting in improved reactivity for the formation of cordiertie. Grinding the calcined powder enhanced the homogeneity of the resulting powder and caused the accumulation of internal energy as crystal strain; consequently, the densities of the sintered bodies increased and the optimum temperature range for sintering widened.
