The demand for low-carbon MgO–C refractories is ever growing to meet the development of
advanced steelmaking technologies and efficient energy conservation. Meanwhile, to …

The development of low-carbon refractories is of great significance, but it is limited by the
deteriorated properties that resulted from the decreased graphite content. Incorporating …

Porous MgO based ceramics have been widely used in some key industries due to their
excellent performance. To investigate the feasibility of preparing porous magnesia ceramics …

This research focuses on the utilization of SiC whiskers synthesized from rice husk powders
in low-carbon magnesia–carbon (MgO–C) refractories, and attempts to reduce the flake …

The oxidation resistance of low carbon Al 2 O 3–C refractories with the addition of SiC nw/Al
2 O 3 composite powders and the enhancement mechanisms were investigated. The …

Boron-containing additives are used to improve the oxidation resistance of carbon-
containing refractories; however, their effects on the mechanical properties and slag …

Abstract Al2O3-and MgO-based oxides are among the most common oxides in the
steelmaking industry. They exist as the main components of refractories, inclusions, or slags …

Nanocrystalline ZrC coated graphite was synthesized in mixed molten salt system, and the
effect of different zirconium sources and reaction temperature on its synthesis was studied …

In this study, we converted renewable rice husk into SiC whiskers and added them to low-
carbon MgO–C refractories to investigate their effect on the structure, thermomechanical …

In an attempt to enhance the sintering and mechanical performance of porous cordierite
ceramics (Mg 2 Al 4 Si 5 O 18) as support materials for vehicle exhaust catalysts, ZrO 2 and …
