Abstract

The ever-increasing demand and application of unshaped refractories to replace conventionally shaped refractories due to many major advantages have inspired scientists and manufacturers to continuously investigate these materials in depth and to improve their quality and performance. In the light of these researches studies based on development of self-flowing magnesia (MgO) refractories are becoming gradually widespread. Relatively low hydration resistance of MgO is the main factor that complicates the flowable casting of it. In this study, various properties of the self-flowing MgO based castable refractories were studied for a comparative understanding of the effect of tabular alumina addition in different ratios.
