Three synthetic refractory aggregates–based on fly ash, kyanite and
sillimanite sand–were used in high-alumina no-cement self-flow castables.
Hot strength (MOR) of the castables improved remarkably and self flow, densification
and cold crushing strength were not significantly affected. View

The permeability of castables designed using various PSDs was affected in
distinct ways by the addition of polymeric fibers having the same diameter but
variable lengths. View

How Abrasive Machining Affects Surface Characteristics of Vitreous Ceramic Tile
C.Y. Wang, T.C. Kuang, Z. Qin and X. Wei
Institute of Manufacturing Technology, Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, China
The ground surfaces of ceramic tile are formed by brittle fracture and plastic deformation of the compositions that form combinations of craters, fracture cracks and plastic deformation grooves. Maximum glossiness and minimum surface roughness depend on the composition and microstructure of the materials and on the grinding conditions.
