Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A two part castable ceramic cement wherein the first and second parts are mixed together, prior to use, in proportions of the first part to the second part of from 1:3 to 3:1; said first part being a partially dewatered slurry of about 50 to about 20 weight percent solids in water wherein the slurried solids consist essentially of from about 5 to about 15 weight percent colloidal silica, from about 3 to about 10 weight percent of an organic adhesive, from about 2 to about 10 weight percent of organic fibers, from about 35 to about 60 weight percent ceramic fiber and from about 0.5 to about 30 weight percent of a high temperature inorganic filler; said second part being essentially dry and comprising from about 50 to about 100 weight percent calcium aluminate, the majority of the remainder said second part being a high temperature inorganic filler.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The cement of claim 1 wherein the filler in the first and second parts is silica flour.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The castable cement of claim 1 wherein the high temperature filler in the second part is silica flour.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The castable cement of claim 1 wherein the cement contains 0.2 to 2 weight percent of a viscosity modifier comprising modified cellulose.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
A cast ceramic cement comprising the mixed, cast and dried castable ceramic cement of claim 1.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
65 words
The cast cement of claim 7 wherein the density of the cast and dried cement is from 40 to 60 pounds per cubic foot, its modulus of rupture is in excess of 65 pounds per square inch and it retains in excess of 50 percent of its initial modulus of rupture after five cycles of heating to 1800° F. followed by cooling to ambient temperature.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
157 words
A method for forming a castable ceramic cement which comprises mixing a first composition with a second composition in proportions of said first composition to said second composition of from 1:3 to 3:1 wherein said first composition is a partially dewatered slurry of about 50 to about 20 weight percent solids in water wherein said solids do not contain cement and comprise from about 5 to about 15 weight percent colloidal silica, from about 3 to about 10 weight percent of an organic adhesive, from about 2 to about 10 weight percent of organic fibers, from about 35 to about 65 weight percent ceramic fiber and from about 0.5 to about 30 percent of a high temperature inorganic filler; and wherein said second composition is essentially dry prior to mixing and comprises from about 50 to about 100 weight percent calcium aluminate with the majority of the remainder said second part being a high temperature inorganic filler.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
157 words
A method for forming a castable ceramic cement which comprises mixing a first composition with a second composition in proportions of said first composition to said second composition of from 1:3 to 3:1 wherein said first composition is a partially dewatered slurry of about 50 to about 20 weight percent solids in water wherein said solids do not contain cement and comprise from about 5 to about 15 weight percent colloidal silica, from about 3 to about 10 weight percent of an organic adhesive, from about 2 to about 10 weight percent of organic fibers, from about 35 to about 65 weight percent ceramic fiber and from about 0.5 to about 30 percent of a high temperature inorganic filler; and wherein said second composition is essentially dry prior to mixing and comprises from about 50 to about 100 weight percent calcium aluminate with the majority of the remainder said second part being a high temperature inorganic filler.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
