This study demonstrates the potential of local clay deposits to produce refractory bricks, highlighting improved strength and thermal stability.

Ipokia I refractory bricks exhibited a cold crushing strength of 16.8 MPa, outperforming Ipokia II at 12.4 MPa.
Chemical analysis revealed high alumina content of 34.50% in Ipokia I and 27.30% in Ipokia II, indicating suitability for refractory applications.
Thermal shock resistance tests showed that both brick types maintained durability across multiple heating-cooling cycles.
Local clay use for refractory bricks could reduce imports and stimulate the economy, emphasizing the need for more research.

ENI et al. (2025) studied this question.
