Conclusions
The creep produced by a given effective load in magnesite-chromite specimens processed from finegrain bodies is governed by the microstructure after firing.
The disruption of the continuity of the material as a result of the development of wide cracks between the pores and the merging of individual pores into a group sharply increases the creep of the specimen at a given effective load until it is destroyed.
An increase in the pore diameter also results in discontinuities in the material and, consequently, in a sharp increase in creep at a lower porosity than in fine-pore specimens.
Since a microfissured structure results in higher creep and at the same time increases the spalling resistance [10, 11], peak values for these characteristics are incompatible in a single product so that they must be determined on the basis of compromise.
