Abstract
Properties of a few clays from South India. have
been studied. Experimental procedures adopted
are the same as those described in the earlier
studies already reported. These clays are highly
refractory, coarse to medium grained, and develop
poor dry strength. They show on firing a high
porosity and low strength. These studies indicate
that among the clays from Mysore, Allalasandra
clay may be suitable for the manufacture of
semi,silica refractories and the Banasandra clay
for high heat duty refractories ; the Chitaldrug
clay can be usefully employed for the manufacture
of high heat duty refractories by suitably blending
with some other more refractory clay or clays.
Similarly the Madras clay also is promising for
application in the manufacture of high heat duty
refractories.
