Improving the structure and properties of a refractory castable containing porous chamotte fillers

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Abstract

The potential use of a porous (∼20%) chamotte filler in a low-cement castable with an integrated matrix is considered. Results of a study of the properties of conventional, medium-cement, and low-cement castables are presented.
