Ceramic Castables — Final Stage in the Evolution of Low-Cement Refractory Castables. Part 3

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Abstract

Technological and service characteristics of ceramic castables and low-cement refractory castables (LCRCs) are compared. Unlike LCRCs prepared from dry-ground powders, the ceramic castables contain a nanoparticle phase (5 – 100 nm), which to a significant extent determines their operational properties. The initial mechanical strength of ceramic binders can be increased substantially by adding water-soluble resins to their composition. A way toward developing oxide-carbon ceramic castables is outlined. Compositions for binding agents with enhanced high-temperature strength are developed.
