The development of low-carbon refractories is of great significance, but it is limited by the
deteriorated properties that resulted from the decreased graphite content. Incorporating …

A range of steel making vessels and continuous casting components use graphite
containing MgO-C refractories that work from ambient to 1600° C or higher. In the current …

Abstract Development of nano carbon containing magnesia graphite refractories to reduce
the total carbon content is urgently required for application of low carbon steel smelting. In …

A new strategy to improve the mechanical strength and the cement clinker corrosion
resistance of refractories for cement kiln was proposed in this work. For this purpose …

Boron-containing additives are used to improve the oxidation resistance of carbon-
containing refractories; however, their effects on the mechanical properties and slag …

Spinel has been widely used in refractories because of its excellent properties, but
conventional spinel has the problem of poor activity and high cost. In this study, a highly …

Abstract Magnesia-carbon (MgO–C) refractory is considered as the most crucial lining
material in steelmaking furnaces. To provide reference for producing high performance MgO …

Abstract The effects of Co, Fe and Ni catalysts generated from their nitrate precursors on the
formation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from pyrolysis of phenolic resin were investigated …

To improve the dispersity and oxidation resistance of nano carbon black (CB) in low carbon
MgO-C refractories, B 4 C/Al 2 O 3/C composite powders were prepared by a combustion …

Low-carbon MgO–C refractories are facing great challenges with severe thermal shock and
slag corrosion in service. Here, a new approach, based on the incorporation of nano-sized …
