Abstract
Effect of reduction in sol content in no cement high alumina castable using water as partial replacement was studied. Different castable compositions, with different particles size distributions, were prepared and processed as per conventional castable making method. Pure silica sol and fixed amount of sol and rest water, as required for mixing and flowability, were added as bond material in the castables. Comparison in characteristics amongst the castables was done after heat treatment at different temperatures.
