Reasons and mechanism of cordierite-mullite refractory materials destruction in the ovens for glazing ceramic wares baking have been examined. The change of elemental and phase compositions of refractory surface layers under the influence of cyclic action of water vapour and volatile components of glazing coating has been established. The ways of increasing cordierite-mullite refractory materials longevity have been proposed.
