A Study of Refractories from Baddeleyite Stabilized with Magnesium Oxide

It is shown that refractory articles can be produced from ZrO2 on a forsterite binder based on natural baddeleyite with native grain composition. The articles have a high density (4.71 – 4.72 g/cm3), ultimate compressive strength (257.6 MPa), heat resistance (6 – 8 water heat cycles from 1300°C), and a low porosity (12.2%).
