Cement-Free Refractory Concretes. Part 5. Cement-Free Refractory Concretes Based on Hydraulic Alumina Binders

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

CFRC based on alumina hydraulic binders are similar with respect to hardening mechanism to low-cement refractory concretes (LCRC) and ultralow cement concretes (ULCRC). They are characterized by significant strengthening in the heat treatment temperature range 200 – 300°C and severe weakening in the range 600 – 1000°C. By introducing silica sols or microsilica into their composition it is possible not only to reduce or eliminate the weakening effect, but also to increase their strength after firing due to mullite formation. CFRC based on alumina binders have improved thermomechanical properties compared with LCRC. Comparative evaluation of CFRC based on hydraulic binders with other types of refractory concretes is provided.
