Refractory Mass
Refractory Mass
There are different ways of classifying unshaped refractories and among them, classification based on application (installation) technique is most widely accepted and used. These are castable, ramming mass, gunning mass, plastics, and spray mass.
Castables are commercially the most widely used material among the different monolithic refractories. Refractory mass is next, mainly including ramming mass, gunning mass, plastic mass, spray mass and dry vibratable mass.
MgO-based basic ramming and gunning mass are used for the repair of steelmaking electric arc furnaces, induction furnaces, steel converters (BOF), ladles, hot metal mixers, RH degasser, etc. MgO-based basic spray mass and dry vibrating masses are used widely for tundish hot face lining.
DBM and FM can be raw materials of MgO-based refractory mass.

Dead Burnt Magnesia (DBM), also called sinter magnesia is produced by firing with a high temperature at around 1500-2000 °C. The main application of DBM is the refractory industry, such as steel and glass industries.
