What is refractory cement?
Ordinary portland cement is common cement with relatively high early strength, while refractory cement is low in this regard. Refractory cement is a characteristic cement which can only be used in special projects, not suitable for general engineering. And in the winter, it is not suitable for construction use.
The introduction of properties and chemical composition of refractory cement. Refractory cement usually refers to the cement with calcium?aluminate as the mian compopnent. Refractory cement is a monolithic refractory. It is in particular a basic binder of castable refractory. Its chemical composition is mainly Al2O3 and CaO, and some contain a considerable number of Fe2O3 and SiO2.
Refractory cement is also known as aluminate?cement. Aluminate?cement emplys bauxite and limestone as the raw materials, calcium?aluminate obtained by calcining as the main component, being made into clinker containing 50% of aluminium oxide and finally being made into hydraulic cementing material by grinding. Aluminate cement is often yellow or brown, sometimes gray. Aluminate cements' major mineral are monocalcium aluminate (CaO · Al2O3, abbreviated CA) and other aluminate as well as a small amount of dicalcium silicate (2CaO · SiO2), etc.
Refractory cement is also known as aluminate cement, whose major mineral are monocalcium aluminate (CaO · Al2O3, abbreviated CA) and other aluminate as well as a small amount of dicalcium silicate (2CaO · SiO2), etc. The advantage is that it is easy to use, able to harden if mixed with added water without other binding agent usually. Refractory aggregate and powder can be added into it. If you use refractory cement purely, it will produce a lot of cracks after high temperature.
How to use exactly refractory cement? Someone professional advised me to buy this cement. Does it differ a lot from common cement? Is refractory cement expensive?
