At that time the flow properties of castables were enhanced by the use of silica fume. This was followed later by the development of fully ground reactive aluminas which contributed to the design of the matrix below 63 μm. In addition to aggregate fines,a range of bi-modal and multi-modal reactive aluminas were also developed. These not only gave improved physical properties but also better castable workability. This paper reviews matrix alumina developments over time,from basic ground calcines to complex multi-modal matrix products and their globally standardised manufacture.展开更多

The features of alumina dispersoids in these ADSC alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It is found that nano-sized γ-Al2O3 particles of approximately 10 nm in diameter are homogeneously distributed in the IRS-ADSC composites. Meanwhile, larger-sized, mixed crystal structure alumina with rod-shaped morphology is embedded in the IO-ADSC alloy. The IRS-ADSC composites can obtain better mechanical and physical properties than the IO-ADSC composites; the tensile strength of the IRS-ADSC alloy can reach 570 MPa at room temperature, its electrical conductivity is 85% IACS, and the Rockwell hardness can reach 86 HRB.展开更多
