In this study, novel MgO–Al 3 BC 3 refractories were developed by gradually replacing flake
graphite with Al 3 BC 3 in unfired low–carbon MgO–C refractories. The high temperature …

Sulfur concrete was prepared by using the following initial components: sand as an
aggregate, modified sulfur binder, and alumina as a filler. Portland cement concrete was …

For refractory materials, a large strain behavior before failure is desired to improve their
thermal shock resistance during their service life in industry. Their microstructure (micro …

The study aims to investigate the effects of pore structure on the thermal shock resistance of
porous refractory materials. Porous material is constituted by a solid frame and the pores …

Many refractory materials exhibit high thermal shock resistance, which is often mostly due to
their high flexibility. Understanding the microstructure key points allowing to develop a non …

In some industrial applications, the need to improve the thermal shock resistance of
refractories by optimisation of their microstructural design is of major importance …

The purpose of this study was to investigate possible application of refractory concrete in
conditions of cavitation effect where the metal materials are usually applied. Also, influence …

The purpose of this study was to investigate behavior and degradation level of refractory
concrete sintered at different temperatures during the thermal stability testing. Alumina …

In order to predict service life of the sulfur–polymer composite, the samples were subjected
to the induced destruction using 10% hydrochloric acid solution. Control specimens were …

Refractory materials are heterogeneous materials having complex microstructures with
different constituent's properties. The mechanical properties of these materials change …
