Addition of nanocarbon black up to 3 wt% was done in MgO‐C refractories, containing fixed 3 and 5 wt% of graphite, to study the effect on various refractory properties. Uniform distribution of carbon particles even at 1 wt% of nanocarbon black with 3 and 5 wt% of graphite was found to improve the refractory properties. The coked strength, hot strength, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance were found to be improved for nanocarbon‐containing MgO‐C refractory compared with the conventional refractory due to in situ formation of Al4C3. Higher amount of nanocarbon black was found to deteriorate the refractory properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
