Self‐Repairing Function in the Carbon‐Containing Refractory

Abstract

Self‐repairing function is observed in carbon‐containing refractory such as MgO–C, Al 2 O 3 –C, and so forth. Non‐oxides such as pure metallic, alloys, carbides, and nitrides are intentionally added to the refractory composition to bring about this function. As a basis of the development of a self‐repairing refractory, the self‐repairing mechanism in the carbon‐containing refractory is described.
