Refractory Composites with Mineral Additive

Abstract

Present paper deals with experimental study of refractories manufactured with environmentally friendly materials. Performed research was focused on the development of new type of high temperature resistant composites with mineral addition applied as cement supplementary material. To reach suitable resistance to temperatures was chosen binder system based on aluminous cement which was modified by metashale. Developed composites went through the gradual thermal loading and residual mechanical and basic physical properties were investigated. Realized program confirmed good potential for practical utilization of metashale as an aluminous cement replacement. Present research offer an interesting way of reducing of costs and negative environmental impacts.
