Refractory castables containing calcium aluminate cement (CAC) are widely used in a range of furnace lining applications in the iron and steel, cement, glass, ceramic, and petrochemical industries. However, magnesia-phosphate cement (MPC) based material could be a new types of cement material, with many advantages such as rapid hydration, high early strength and circumstance suitability, which has very important value and wide application. In this study, MPC was used at Chromia/Alumina castable as binder addition instead of conventional calcium aluminate cement. Meanwhile, it also explains the relationship between the micro-mechanism and performance by micro methods such as SEM. The results shows that MPC based castables have good corrosion resistance, interface adhesiveness and abrasion resistance.

Micro-sized alumina powder is widely used in low cement high-alumina refractory castables. The hydration of calcium aluminate cement can be affected by adding micro-sized alumina powder. This work addresses the hydration of a commercial cement at 25°C with 50 wt% micro-sized alumina powder added. The hydration heat was measured by isothermal micro-calorimetry. The phase composition and microstructure of the hydration products at the designated times were studied by XRD and SEM, respectively. The results showed that micro-sized alumina powder accelerated the dissolution of CAC. The induction period of the cement hydration reduced from 13h to 4.5h, and the hydration heat within 50hs was increased from 469J/g to 587J/g with the addition of micro-sized alumina powder. The morphology of the hydrates was flocculent amorphous at the beginning, and then transformed to short rods or cubic shape with micro-sized alumina powder added.

Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) and hydratable alumina (HA) are the most widely used binders for refractory castables. Nevertheless, CAC as the binder for refractory castable generates some low melting point phases when coupled with SiO2, which deteriorate the high temperature performance of refractory castables. Although hydratable alumina (HA) bonded castables overcome the drawbacks of CAC bonded ones, they demand a longer mixing time and higher water contents due to HA's high specific surface area, as well as increasing the shear stress and viscosity of HA bonded castables. Therefore, in this paper, CAC combined with HA was used as the binder for corundum- spinel castables to obtain better performance. Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), dispersing alumina (ADS) and polycarboxylate ether dispersant (FS60) were used as dispersants, and their effects on the rheological behaviors of CAC-HA bonded corundum-spinel castables suspensions had been investigated. According to the viscosity-shear rate and stress-shear rate curves of suspensions with different dispersants, it was suggested that STPP, ADS, FS60 were all helpful for rheological performance of suspensions. Suspensions achieved much better rheological behavior with 0.3 wt.% of STPP, 1.0wt.% of ADS and 0.1wt.% of FS60, respectively. Suspensions with ADS and FS60 presented to be pseudo plastic fluid, which was helpful for the installation process of CAC-HA bonded corundum-spinel castables. And FS60 could simultaneously impart electrostatic and steric stabilization to the given suspension. Considering the actual rheological performance of CAC-HA bonded corundum-spinel castables, FS60 was much better than ADS.
