DEVELOPMENT OF REFRACTORY CERAMICS THAT CAN BE PROCESSED AT TEMPERATURES CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN THEIR MAXIMUM USE TEMPERATURE

Abstract

An evaluation of the strength, electrical properties, and refractoriness of bodies fabricated containing 94% Al2O3 utilizing different forms of the MgO additive is presented. Alumina bodies in the alumina-chromia-titania, alumina-chromia, and alumina-chromia-silica systems were fabricated. Introduction of the devitrifiable glass, lead aluminosilicate, into an alumina matrix was investigated. The effect of longer soaking period upon density was also studied. (Author)
