High temperature zirconia binders for ex-vessel catcher brickwork

The studies on selection of compositions of binding materials (mortars) on the zirconium dioxide basis with two types of binders - the barium monoaluminate and zirconium dioxide binding suspension - are accomplished. The bases of technology for their fabrication and application are developed; the density, porosity, shrinkage and behavior in contact with the steel melts and iron oxide are specified. The mortars developed are recommended for application in the external trap fireproof protection on the basis of the zirconium dioxide refractory materials
