10 to 30% magnesite is added to Chromite to produce chrome-magnesite refractories. Magnesite addition is mainly done to improve the _____________ of Chromite?

Correct answer: A. Spalling resistance

  • A. Spalling resistance
  • B. Refractoriness
  • C. Crushing strength
  • D. Resistance to slag

Explanation

Magnesite helps chrome-magnesite refractories withstand sudden temperature changes, so its principal benefit is improved thermal-spalling resistance. It is not added mainly to increase chromite's refractoriness or crushing strength.
