Conclusions
An improved method and apparatus for high-temperature testing of refractories for tensile deformation has been developed and introduced.
Some experimental data were obtained characterizing the behavior under tension of firebrick, magnesite, unfired magnesite-chromite and silica refractories at high temperatures.
The apparatus can be used for testing refractories under tension both with constant load and increasing temperature and in isothermal conditions.
The apparatus and method are recommended for the accumulation of experimental material on different types of refractories, and also for work on the development of goods subjected to tensile strains in service at high temperatures.
