Refractory | industrial material | Britannica
These raw materials are roasted to produce a mixture of synthetic alumina and mullite (an aluminosilicate mineral with the chemical formula 3Al 2 O 3 · 2SiO 2). By definition high-alumina refractories contain between 50 and 87.5 percent alumina. They are much more robust than fireclay refractories at high temperatures and in basic environments. In addition, they exhibit better volume stability and abrasion …
