Making siphon and ladle products from Arkalyksk clay

Conclusions It is possible to use Arkalyksk clay in the bonding part of the batch in amounts of 3% for preparing siphon tubes with physicochemical properties corresponding to the requirements of GOST.With combined firing of experimental siphon tubes and ladle brick it was possible to increase the firing temperature by 50°C, as a result of which the porosity of the ladle brick drops 1%, and the wear 2–3 mm/heat. The experimental siphon tubes tested for casting steel had a satisfactory resistance.Translated from Ogneupory, No.2, pp. 1–3, February, 1970.
