Abstract:The spalling and corrosion during the thermal cycles are the main causes of the damages observed in mullite based castable composites which are used in molten iron system. Using the toughening agents of carbon fibers and the anti-oxidant of silicon, mullite based castable composites were prepared by sintering in air atmosphere. The effect of the anti-oxidant of silicon on the various physical, microstructures and mechanical properties were studied. The addition of silicon has significantly improved the cold mo… Show more
