Abstract
The imj;ortance of casting pit refractories and their j;rojJertics have been discussed.
A short review of literature has been made. Two types of casting pit refractories
au; generally used-one with comparatively high refractoriness and the
other with low refractoriness and bloating or pyroplastic characteristics. The latter
type, though preferred, is not made in the country. The possibility of manufacturing
the pyrop(astic type of casting pit refractories from indigenous low alumina plastic
clay with addition of pyrophyllite or talc has been indicated.
