Abstract

The state-of-the-art in the field of creation and use of spinel, spinel-forming, and corundum-spinel concretes in the world is analyzed. In contrast to foreign-made concretes of this calss produced using high-alumina cement Russian specialists have developed cementless spinel concretes of the type of ceramic castables. Achievements in the field of low-cement self-flowing (cast) concretes, which are often more effective than vibrocompacted ones, are considered. The factors that determine their quality are analyzed. Concretes of this class can be obtained on the base of ceramic binders (HCBS). Due to their diminished (compared to low-cement concretes) water demand the materials can possess a lower porosity.
