Refractory Technology
Magnesite chrome refractories

Are not at all resistant to the corrosive action of iron oxide
Have very low (50 kg/cm² ) cold crushing strength (C.C.S.), and can not be used in metalcase form
Have very low thermal co-efficient of expansion
Have better spalling resistance than chrome magnesite refractories
