Investigation of raw materials used in the production of refractory brick and some technological properties of refractory brick

In this thesis study, refractory raw materials and the bricks produced by union of these raw materials in different proportions are examined. The examination is focused on the raw materials used by REMSAN Inc. and the produced refractory bricks. First, chemical and mineralogical properties of some raw materials kind of refractory bricks are determined. Then, chemical, mineralogical, petrographic properties, sonic velocity and unaxial compressive strength values of refractory bricks (REMGUN 60 SİC 10GG, LOWCAST 75, LOWCAST 70 SİC, LOWCAST 70 ZR, LOWCAST 70 SİC, LOWCAST 60 SİC ve LOWCAST 50) which using different proportions of refractory raw materials and additives produced by Remsan Inc. were determined. At the end of the tests, it is shown that the refractory bricks can be used in different temperatures and have different endurances according to materials contained.
