Conventional refractory castables are widely used in various high-temperature applications due to their excellent thermal stability & mechanical strength. These materials are composed of refractory aggregates, binders, and additives. Conventional castables are widely used in industrial applications and are classified based on their alumina content and purity, which determine their heat resistance and overall performance. Alumina is a crucial component, providing high temperature strength and resistance to corrosion and erosion. Purity is also critical, with higher levels desired to avoid negative impacts on performance.
