Abstract:This study investigates the effects of adding clay and fireclay on the physical and mechanical properties of magnesia-based refractories such as contraction, bending strength, bulk density, and apparent porosity. Domestic raw materials were used for the preparation of samples fired at 1350, 1450, and 1550 °C for 2 h. Adding clay exhibited no significant effect on the density and porosity, whereas adding fireclay had a remarkable influence on the shrinkage. Nevertheless, the effects of clay and fireclay on the … Show more
