The different types of refractory castables

Refractory castables are usually classified according to the size of porosity, selected binder or bonding method, aggregate type and construction method. According to the porosity, it can be divided into dense refractory castables and insulating refractory castables. According to cementing methods, refractory castables can be divided into four types: hydration bonded castables, chemical bonded castables (including polymerization bonded castables), hydration and polymerization bonded castables (typically low cement bonded castables) and condensation bonded castables. According to the special functions of binders and some materials, they can be classified into the following seven categories: (1) clay bonded refractory castable; (2) superfine powder (such as silica fume, etc.) combined with refractory castable; (3) Cement bonded refractory castable; (4) chemically bonded refractory castable; (5) ρ-ALO (hydrated ALO) combined refractory castable; (6) Low cement bonded...
