Abstract

It has been observed that for magnesite refractories with high silica content, increase in porosity or reduction in cold crushing strength improves spalling resistance whereas for low silica magnesite refractories, the reverse relationship is valid. Attempt has been made to explain these anomalies from their chemical and mineralogical characteristics.
