The Effect of Microspheres on the Properties of Thermal Insulating
Refractory Materials
Refractories Manual (2017) 22-27 Review Papers
Abstract:
Microspheres are currently a very important raw material mixture component
for production of high-quality thermal insulating refractory materials
with low bulk density. At present there are several sources of microspheres
on the market. Although the price range of offered microspheres
is not wide, their quality varies greatly. It is therefore necessary to examine
the influence of various brands of microsphere on the thermal insulation
properties of refractory materials. The aim of this paper is to describe
the basic properties of available microspheres (grain size di7stribution,
powder density, loss on ignition, chemical analysis) and determine their
impact on the properties of dry-pressed bodies (bulk density, coefficient
of thermal conductivity, firing shrinkage, Pyrometric Cone Equivalent
(PCE) and microstructure). The results show significant differences in the
ability of individual test microspheres to produce a body with low thermal
conductivity and high refractoriness according to PCE testing.
