Development of an Ultra-Low Carbon MgO Refractory Doped with α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Nanoparticles for the Steelmaking Industry: A Microstructural and Thermo-Mechanical Study

The effect of &#945;-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles (up to 5 wt.%) on the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties, as well as on the microstructural evolution of a dense magnesia refractory is studied. Sintering temperatures at 1300, 1500, and 1600 &#1...
