Abstract:In the pursuit of developing a mullite- carbon refractory ceramic composite with optimum physical and mechanical properties modified with additives, experimental studies were carried out using local materials from Nigeria's south-south and south-west regions. Kaolin clay was crushed to 2 mm and ball-milled into powder. Ground kaolin was homogeneously blended with graphite using a ball mill and sieved through a 300μm electric sieve. The homogeneous mix was combined with predetermined Magnesium Oxide proportions… Show more
