Effects of magnesia sand types and their associated impurities on the microstructure, mechanical properties and slag resistance of MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 refractories
Key Points
Mechanical properties of MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 refractories vary with different magnesia sand types, indicating material selection affects performance.
Impurities found in magnesia sands significantly impact the microstructure and mineral phases of the refractories produced.
Cross-sectional analysis of the refractories shows that slag resistance is closely linked to the purity of the sand used.
This work highlights the importance of selecting appropriate magnesia sands to enhance the lifespan and effectiveness of refractories.
