The Chemical Activity of Refractories

JSGT 1936 V20 T061-T062

 It is possible to find the rate at which a standard high melting point corrodent, such as dolomite, is consumed by a refractory at a particular temperature, and thereby a measure of the chemical activity of the refractory. The examination of the corroded test piece gives information concerning its texture and degree of bonding.
