Abstract

The thermal expansion coefficients of refractory ceramics with different compositions in the MgO-CaO system have been measured, and compared with theoretical values for multiphase composites calculated on the basis of the equations of Turner and of Kerner. Good agreement with the predictions of the Turner equation has been found.
