Low-cement castables of corundum and aluminum compositions

The effect of the mineral and grain composition of charges and the manufacturing technology and characteristics of vibroshaping of low-cement thixotropic castables having an alumosilicate and a corundum composition on the physicochemical properties of the obtained material are considered. Experimental refractories fabricated of low-cement castables have been tested in intermediate ladles of a continuous casting machine. The developed low-cement thixotropic castables possess high physicomechanical and operational properties and can be used in various metallurgical equipment.
