Influence of Particle Size Distribution on Properties of Fired Refractory Bricks

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

The influence of particle size distribution (PSD) on certain physical, physicomechanical, and mechanical properties and high-temperature stability characteristics of fired periclase bricks is studied. The selection and optimization of the PSD and a tool that can significantly simplify this task are touched upon.
