Conclusions
Dunites from the Kytlymsk deposits are of considerable interest as a source of raw material for the production of forsterite refractories.
Experimental forsterite articles, prepared without prefiring of the Kytlymsk dunites, completely satisfy the requirements of GOST 14832-79.
Industrial tests established that the forsterite articles are suitable for use in the lining of steelcasting ladles, and also as facing material for the “false” walls of the slag pockets of open-hearth furnaces.
