| dc.description.abstract | The experimental investigation into the suitability of our locally available clays as refractory material for furnace construction was the major focus of this work. Four samples of clays from different location, Kuru, Alkaleri, Barkin ladi and Bauchi were analyzed. The properties investigated include, Moisture content, Bulk density, Porosity, Permeability, Cold crushing strength, Thermal shock resistance and refractoriness. From the results obtained, the Alkaleri and Barkin ladi clay samples were recommended for the construction of furnaces due to their conformity with the existing standard refractory clays, while Kuru and bauchi clays are suitable for lining of ladles. | en_US |
