As a result of a revision of the JIS system, the application of the hot wire method for determining thermal conductivity has been expanded from heat-insulating bricks to refractories with higher heat conductivity. In this regard, focusing on magnesia bricks, which are used in the safety lining of converters and a wide variety of other applications, the authors studied the possibility of applyin...

The partial replacement of primary raw materials for the production refractories with recycled ones gains in importance, as it contributes to conservation natural resources, energy saving, and reduction greenhouse gas emissions. In this work, use a magnesia–carbon (MgO-C) recyclate fractions 3–6, 1–3, 0–1 mm material MgO-C was investigated. examined via optical scanning electron microscopy. Usi...

Abstract: There have been lots of studies to control the poor hydration resistance of dolomite refractories one of themost effective solutions has been the addition of magnesia to doloma. Using a co-clinker of magnesia-doloma as astarting material would provide more homogeneity in the properties of the product and has been published recently.On the other hand, addition of iron oxide to doloma h...

The Mg0-Mn203-Mn0 system in air exhibits two series of solid solutions, (Mg,Mn)Mn204 and (Mg,Mn)O, the boundaries of which have been located. At 1600 +5' C a tie-triangle exists in which these two solid solution phases and a liquid phase coexist with the gas phase. The Mn3+/Mn2+ ratio of the crystalline phases is lowered by the addition of CaSi03 and this has the effect of stabilising the (Mg,M...

The corrosion behavior of three sorts of refractories based on alumina-graphite were studied by immersion tests. The melts included smelting reduction molten slag and corresponding carbon saturated molten iron. The influence of test temperature, FeO content in slag and specimen rotative velocity on the corrosion rate of refractories was examined. By means of SEM and EDS, the microstructure chan...
