Fusion point of a basic refractory material is__________________?

Correct answer: A. Reduced by the addition of acid oxides

  • A. Reduced by the addition of acid oxides
  • B. Increased by the addition of acid oxides
  • C. Not affected by the addition of acid oxides
  • D. Always less than 1000°C

Explanation

Adding acidic oxides to a basic refractory can form lower-melting compounds or eutectics, thereby reducing its fusion temperature. Basic refractories are therefore damaged by acidic slags.
