Study of the Possibility of Preparing Low-Cement Magnesia Concretes

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

The possibility of producing vibro- and self-flow low-cement periclase concretes is investigated. It is shown that when the concrete mixture is prepared in traditional preparation conditions the aggregate and the finely ground component based on the fused periclase are hardly hydrated: the brucite content after 3 days of concrete hardening does not exceed 1%. The data obtained may be used as the basis for the further development of
