Cordierite-mullite composite has been prepared from rice husk derived silica; Magnesium sulphate derived magnesium oxide, and calcined alumina powder. Phase formation behavior of the sample has been studied from the XRD pattern of the sintered sample. The densification behaviour of the composite has been studied using dilatometer. The densification behavior of the composite as a function of sintering temperature has also been reported. Flexural strength as a function of sintering temperature and mullite content in the composite has also been studied
