Three of the following are properties required of a working-face refractory. The exception is

  • A.resistance to thermal spalling
  • B.high porosity
  • C.high refractoriness under load
  • D.resistance to the slag in contact

Answer: B

Correct answer: high porosity

Porosity is what an insulating refractory needs, not a working-face one. At the hot face, pores admit slag and gas into the body of the brick and accelerate its destruction, so a dense low-porosity brick is wanted there, backed by a porous insulating layer behind it. The other three - spalling resistance, refractoriness under load and slag resistance - are all working-face requirements.
