Phase Composition and Physico-Mechanical Properties at Different Firing Temperatures of Ceramic Earthquake-Resistant Bricks with the Use of Ferro-Dust

Glass and Ceramics - Ceramic bricks based on low-melting clay and ferro-dust from self-disintegrating, low-carbon, ferrochrome slags, graded from M100 to M175, respectively, were obtained in the...     

Crystal-chemical stabilization of slags from refined-ferrochrome production

Crystal-chemical stabilization of the slags from refined-ferroalloy production has been introduced, for the first time in global practice, at Aktobe Ferroalloy Plant (a branch of AO TNK Kazkhrom), with the assistance of OAO Ural’skii Institut Metallov. Boron-bearing materials from Indersk and Dal’negorsk ore are tested as stabilizing agents. The influence of various stabilizers on the process and on the economics of smelting low- and moderate-carbon ferrochrome is demonstrated.
