Abstract
Silica gel-modified hydratable magnesium carboxylate (HMC) is used as the binder for refractory castables. The mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance of HMC bonded and silica gel-modified HMC-bonded castables were compared. When the HMC/silica gel mass ratio is 2, the cold modulus of rupture, the hot modulus of rupture, the residual strength ratio after three-times water quenching tests, and the matrix-specific fracture energy of the castables were increased by 300%, 124%, 44.7%, and 132%, respectively, compared with HMC-bonded castables. The characterization of microstructure evolution of silica gel-modified HMC-bonded castables indicated that a small amount of liquid phase generated is conducive to improving the high-temperature mechanical properties. The in situ alumina-rich spinel and needle-like mullite toughened the matrix and enhanced the thermal shock resistance of the castables by “microcrack generation” and “preventing crack propagation” mechanisms.
