Abstract

Abstract A study of microstructural evolution, mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of MgO–C refractories, based on graphite oxide nanosheets (GONs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon black (CB), was carried out by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), three-point bending and thermal shock tests. Meanwhile, these results were compared to the conventional MgO–C refractory containing 10 wt% flaky graphite prepared under the same conditions. The results showed that higher cold modulus of rupture was obtained for the composition containing GONs, and the composition containing CNTs exhibited larger displacement after coking at 1000 °C and 1400 °C. Also, the addition of nanocarbons led to an improvement of the thermal shock resistance; in particular, both compositions containing CNTs and CB had higher residual strength ratio, approaching the thermal shock resistance of the reference composition containing 10 wt% flaky graphite, as it was associated with the presence of nanocarbons and in-situ formation of ceramic phases in the matrix.
