Drying Stages during the Heating of High‐Alumina Ultra
Dec 20 2004 · The purpose of this work was to investigate the drying kinetics of high‐alumina ultra‐low‐cement refractory castables under continuous heating conditions. Three main drying stages were identified during the castable heat‐up and were related to the phase change of free water and to the decomposition of hydrated products present in the body.
