Refractories Aims and scope

Conclusions

The possibility in principle is shown of obtaining pure forsterite by electric-arc melting of natural magnesium orthosilicate.

It was established that the oxides of iron, chromium, silicon, and manganese reduce easily and are concentrated in a ferroalloy the content of which is 6–8%. The product of fusion of dunite is 95–98% forsterite and an insignificant quantity of iron containing siliceous glass.

Parts produced from fused dunite have quality indices significantly exceeding the indices of those produced from fired dunite.
