Abstract
Since the advancement of monolithic refractories through low moisture/
low-cement castables, the iron and steel industries have benefited
significantly through improved quality and productivity. A no-cement
tastable has also been developed recently, which has basically similar
characteristics as of low-cement castables and have better hot strengths
above 1400 'C, ease of drying without spalling or cracking; they are
amenable to the basic installation techniques. All these no-cement
castables which are based on a proprietory bonding system can be
installed by a concrete pump. The advancements mentioned above
have made these no-cement castables much more versatile. This paper
deals with the properties, applications and microstructural developments
of these no-cement castables.
