Abstract
To increase the flexibility and elasticity of a basic refractory brick system, beneath the resistor MgO a second component is necessary, the so-called elastifier. Spinel minerals have proven to be an economically and technically suitable elastifier material. The behaviour of spinel minerals in the magnesia system are highlighted and focussed in this paper, as other (like zirconia) are of less importance nowadays. The behaviour of the crucial spinel types can be subdivided into three groups regarding their reaction potential with the basic brick material, the resistor MgO. The selection of the appropriate elastifier from the spinel group, its content and specific performance influences the properties and behaviour as well as the resistivity of the basic brick systems
