Refractory Technology
Addition of grog in fireclay brick during its manufacture is advantageous, because it results in

Less shrinkage in heating, decreased apparent porosity & increased specific gravity
High strength & thermal spalling resistance
All of these
Less addition of water to get a workable plasticity & lesser time required for drying the raw refractories and hence increased rate of production

Refractory Technology
Carbon refractories

Are not attacked by slags, as they are not wetted by melts
Do not burn/oxidise, when exposed to air on heating
Have extremely low thermal & electrical conductivities
Do not resist temperature fluctuations
