Abstract

Several kinds of inorganic sol and gel materials were applied to high alumina based low and ultra low cement refractory castable compositions and these were fired at elevated temperature. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) study of the fired specimens was performed and the microstructural features were analysed in terms of the desirable properties of a refractory material, with an aim to elucidate the effect of sol gel additives on castables.
