چکیده

Silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties such as particularly their high melting point and their rigidity and strength at high temperatures. In this research, different amount of SiC were added to Silica refractory containing different binders such as Borax, Boric acid, Calcium nitride, Sodium tri poly phosphate, Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) and lime are added. Physical properties (density and porosity), mechanical properties (cold crush strength, CCS) and microstructure were studied. This study indicated that SiC improves the physical and mechanical properties. In general, increasing SiC with different binders improve the mechanical and compaction in the samples. Silica refractory sample containing 20%wt. SiC and 5% wt. borax as a binder had the best results of mechanical strength and compaction. In this sample, glassy phases formed fills the voids and increasing temperature between particles. In fact, glass phase formation increase compaction, density, and strength.
