Abstract

<p>Alumina-magnesia monolithic refractories are mainly used to line the inner wall of steel ladles. The refractories are damaged by the thermal shock while using on its wall and the spalling of them occurs. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of refractories. The effective fracture energy (γeff) is known as the parameter which affects to the thermal shock resistance. The objective of this study is to identify the effect of adding fine particles on the γeff. The samples were prepared by changing the fraction of fine alumina (average particle size is 3.4 µm) against coarse alumina (average particle size is 550 µm) and the effect of adding fine particles on the γeff was evaluated. The γeff was measured by Work of Fracture method. The value of γeff was enhanced to a maximum when the fine alumina fraction was 20-30 mass%. The reason could be explained by the apparent porosity and the roughness of the surface. Adding appropriate amount of fine alumina brought lower apparent porosity and rougher surface, leading to higher γeff.</p>
