Production of ladle and checker brick from Arkalyk raw material

Conclusions Ladle brick with a considerably longer life than conventional chamotte ladle brick is manufactured from Arkalyk rock without clay additions.Checker brick made of high-alumina chamotte and Latnaya clay is recommended for the checker work of regenerators; less melting dust was noted than in chrome-magnesite brick checkers.The basic variety of Arkalyk rock is suitable for the production of chamotte ladle brick without clay additions; the life of this ladle brick is as long as that of conventional brick used at Borovichi Combine. Increased compression would allow the production of higher-strength brick.
