Effect of plant-derived organic binders on fracture toughness and fatigue of kaolin-based refractories
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi,, 2008)The fracture properties of kaolin-based refractories prepared using plant-derived binders from okra and “mrenda” have been investigated and compared. It was observed that the MOR of fired samples improved from 37.5 ± 0.1 ... -
Ultrasonic attenuation in Kenyan clay refractories
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi,, 1999)Ultrasonic attenuation in clay refractories fabricated under different processing parameters has been measured. It was established that refractory clay samples with high compaction efficiencies (CE) were less attenuating ... -
