What Is The Temperature On The Behavior Of The Low Cement Castable ( Sic )?

According to the manufacturer, the type of SiC particles is green hexagonal, which means they are of the type α-SiC. Therefore, I think we need to look at the properties for this type of SiC only. Before this, for choosing the value of CTE for SiC, I used the room temperature values declared on Table 3 of the 1997 publication by R.G. Munro, which is attached to this message. For room temperature the value 1.1 and for 500°C the value 4.4 is given. I noticed that for all other experimental CTEs as well as theoretical assumptions, I am using CTE values that are averaged between room temperature and elevated temperatures. Therefore, it makes sense to me to average these two values and use the number 2.75 for CTE of this type of SiC particles. …show more content…

Do you think you possess any information that we can assimilate to our work? Is that plot referring to the same matrix which is described in this draft? If so, I would appreciate if you provide that plot and its relevant raw data to me.
P.S.: For your further information, in the present work, CS stands for NLI-122, CZ for NLI-110, and CSZ for NLI-123.

I absolutely agree with you that this idea could make our work more powerful. Not only because it can provide an extra control, also because the impact of the severity of the thermal shock response of (comparable) refractories has not been well explored in the literature, to my best knowledge. I proposed the same idea as a research topic in the past, however, our time and resources have always been limited, and based on the available resources it was decided to explore other aspects of the thermal shock phenomena. This experimental research could be generally designed in three ways:
1- Apply one temperature profile to multiple types of refractory and characterize the response of the refractories.
2- Apply multiple temperature profiles to one type of refractory and characterize the impact of the temperature profile.
3- Apply multiple temperature profiles on multiple types of refractory and characterize the response of the refractories as well as the impact of the temperature profile.
For the present research we chose the
