Standards and Testing for Refractory Materials.
Introduction Thermally stable mineral aggregates, a binder phase, and additives make up refractories, which are inorganic, nonmetallic, porous, and heterogeneous materials. The main raw materials used in the manufacture of refractories are silicon, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, and zirconium oxides. Carbides, nitrides, borides, silicates, and graphite are examples of non
