1.Introduction
Theuseofmonolithicrefractoriesinvariousindustries(metallurgical,cement,etc.)iscontinuouslyincreasingforthelast20years[1]and[2].Duringtheirservicelife,refractorycastablesaresubjectedtoseveresolicitations,especiallyfromathermomechanicalpointofviewandaredegradedbyacombinationofseveralmechanisms,mainlythermalshock,abrasion,corrosionandmechanicalimpact.Thebehaviourofthesematerialsfacetothosemechanismsisinfluencedbytheevolutionofmanyfactorssuchastheirchemicalcomposition,theirmicrostructureaswellastheirphasetransformation,whichoccurathightemperatureduringfiringprocess,and/orinservice[3]and[4].
Thephysicalpropertiesofarefractoryconcretearehighlytemperature-dependent.Thisisprimarilycausedbythecomplexhydrationanddehydrationreactionsofcalciumaluminatecement[5],[6]and[7].
Theelaborationofmonolithicscontainingcalciumaluminatecementscontainsseveralstepssuchasmixing,placingandconsolidation,curinganddryoutandfinallyuseinservice.Eachofthesestepswithinthecastableplacingchainareintimatelylinkedtotheinitialhydrationprocessofthecalciumaluminatecement(CAC)[8]and[9].
Therefractorycastablesgenerallypresentcomplexheterogeneousmicrostructureswhichcanprovidestronginternalstressesbythermalsource.Becauseofthemismatchbetweenthepropertiesofphasesandmainlybetweentheircoefficientsofthermalexpansion,theserviceconditionscanconsiderablyaffecttheirinitialmicrostructuralstateandthustheirthermomechanicalproperties[10]and[11].
