2. What is refractory ?
Is it a material which should withstand high temperature only ?
The right definition is that it should withstand high temperature,resistance to
thermal and thermo chemical load, posses high volume stability, resistant to
erosion and abrasion, be tough , and resistant to chemical corrosion
etc. Or otherwise it should have high RUL, high PCE, low conductivity , high
hot MOR, high creep resistance and optimum CCS etc
Overall it is a compromise with all the above properties.
Choice of refractories depend on the operating and mechanical
conditions of the kiln.
There is no refractory material which posses all the above
properties 100 %
In general any material which in service > 600 deg C is called refractory

Density of all refractories is an indirect measure of their
capacity to store heat
.
2. Apparent porosity
The porosity of a refractory is a measure of % pores to the
( summation of open and closed pores)total weight of
a brick. This property is significant to decide
upon its resistance to penetration by slags and fluxes ,its
permeability to gases and its thermal conductivity
Porosity is controlled by the following
1) by controlling the texture of the bricks
2) by controlling the size of the particles
3) by method of making
4) by controlling the firing temperature

30. 3. Cold crushing strength ( CCS )
Cold crushing strength of a refractory material represents its
strength .In other words it tells us how much load it can bear
in cold condition
The mechanical strength (CCS) of refractory brick is governed
largely by the amount and the character of the matrix material
between the larger grains. Good tool to provide for evaluating
the degree of bond formation during production. It indicates the
ability of the brick to withstand abrasion and impact in low
temperature application.

1.Refractoriness( fusion temperature or softening temp)
Transition of a solid material into the liquid form under
the influence of heat. A true melting point is temperature
at which the solid and liquid phase of the composition
co-exist in equilibrium.
It is the ability of a refractory to remain rigid at a given
temperature. It is an indirect indication of the amount
and the viscosity of any liquid which it may contain.
The reference samples are called seger cones in
DIN standards and Norton cones in ASTM standards.

43. Refractoriness under load
This is a measure of the resistance of a refractory body
to the combined effects of heats of load.This test helps
to study the behavior of a refractory product when
subjected to a constant load under conditions of
progressively rising temperature.
The ground mass / matrix helps to bond the entire mass of
a refractory brick strongly together. The amount and the
strength of the glass is fixed by the alumina - silica ratio,
fluxing oxide content and the temperature of firing.
It is an important parameter to decide upon the safer limit
of service temperature in a given situation.
Contributing factors to the increased resistance to the
pressure are
a) More thorough distribution of liquid throughout the brick
b) The growth of crystals through the influence of heat
c) Crystallization of a portion of the liquid during cooling.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
44. High temperature creep
In a brick held at constant temperature and pressure,
gradual solution of solid material up to the limits of its
solubility in the liquid may cause some increase in the
viscosity of the liquid. This increase is dependent on
the nature of ground mass, glass content. Higher
glass content will result higher deformation in this
situation. This property of refractoriness is called high
temperature creep. Lower deformation will ensure
rigidity under the service condition.
The creep is the measurement of deformation of a
refractory product as a function of time when it is
subjected to a constant load and heated at a specified
temperature.

53. Thermal expansion is important in service , as the effect of expansion has
to be taken into account during refractory installation and construction of
large installations ( expansion joints). The expansion curves of most of
refractories is more or less linear with increasing temperature or reversible.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
54. Thermal shock resistance( spalling resistance)
Thermal spalling results from stresses caused by
unequal rates of expansion and contraction in different
parts of brick and usually associated with rapid changes
of temperature.
In cement rotary kiln the brick lining needs to be
spalling resistant as the lining is subjected to
continuation variation of temperature because of
rotary motion of kiln.

56. Thermal conductivity

heat that flows across unit area in unit time if the temperature
gradient across this area is unity.

Q =
d Q = amount of heat
T1 = hot face temperature
T2 = cold face temperature
A = area cross section
t = time

66. Chemical composition
By quantifying all the constituents present in refractory, it is
possible to assess the chemical properties and melting behavior
of a given refractory.As it is important to know the % Al2O3 in
high alumina brick, % MgO in magnesite brick , and % SiO2 in
silica brick etc.,the determination of minor constituents has
also been recognized as controlling factors in the performance
of many refractories. The chemical composition is of great
importance with respect to attack by slag , glass melts , flue
dusts and vapors. In general the principle applies that a brick is
more resistant the lower the rate of chemical reaction gradient
between the slag and brick is. Therefore, where the acid slag
is expected , acid bricks are preferably used , and basic bricks
where basic slag is expected.
