In order to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminosilicate refractories by molten aluminum, alkaline fluoride NaF and cryolite Na3AlF6 powders were studied. Both physical and chemical properties are known to influence wetting and corrosion behavior. This paper devoted to determine the influence of alkaline fluoride and cryolite added to andalusite based castable on the reaction with a...

Abstract: Efforts have been carried out in order to use microsilica to develop a forsterite bond rather than other types of binders in the basic refractory castables. According to the higher drying rate and sinterability of colloidal silica, it has been proposed in the recent years. In the present work, effects of replacement of microsilica by colloidal silica evolution of forsterite bond have ...

Refractories, materials that can withstand high temperatures, play an important role in the iron and steel sector which alone accounts for ~70% of total refractories pro‐ duced. In this chapter, detailed wettability and interfacial phenomena investiga‐ tions on alumina-carbon and zirconia-carbon refractories at steelmaking temperatures. The wettability between refractory substrates and molten i...

nowadays, magnesia carbon refractories are very important for the iron and steel industries. it is dueto their unique properties, such as low wet ability with melt iron and steel. therefore, it is importantto extend the life of the refractory. in this research, the effect of calcined alumina and nano carbon onmechanical strength and corrosion resistance against slag in magnesia carbon refractor...
