The possibility is demonstrated of a considerable improvement in mechanical properties of vibration-cast refractory objects by introducing nanosize fractions into thixotropic mullite-corundum mixes. It is established that the efficiency of using nano-additions is governed by its introduction technology into refractory material. The best method is mixing in vortex layer equipment with use of a high-intensity rotating magnetic field.
