Influence of Carbon Source on Some Properties of MgO Castables
Abstract
The effect of different carbon sources, including flake graphite, needle coke, and carbon black, on some properties of several MgO-Based castables was investigated. Test specimens were fabricated using 5, 10 and 15 wt.-% of each type of carbonaceous material in three commercial MgO-Based castables. Then, flow behavior, physical and mechanical properties such as bulk density and cold crushing strength (CCS) were measured. Results showed that needle coke had the least negative influence in evaluated properties due to carbon structure and hydrophic-hydrophilic character. Results could be promising for using acicular coke as alternative material of high purity flaky-graphite.
