Abstract
Abstract A more pressable composition for making graphitic refractory brick from oxide aggregate with a carbon bond is obtained when the refractory oxide aggregate is substantially all coarser than 0.15 mm (+100 mesh), preferably coarser than 0.2 mm (+65 mesh), and most preferably coarser than 0.4 mm (+35 mesh), and the matrix is entirely carbonaceous material, such as graphite, particularly flake graphite, resin, particularly a phenol formaldehyde resin, together with such other carbonaceous materials as carbon black, calcined coke, anthracite, and the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A carbonaceous pressed refractory brick consisting essentially of (1) from 60 to 90% refractory oxide aggregate, substantially all of which is coarser than 0.15 mm, and (2) a carbonaceous matrix of from 9.6% to 28.1% graphite, substantially all finer than 0.4 mm, 2% to 8% resin, and from 0% to 6% other carbon material, said matrix being substantially free of oxide refractory material, all percentages being by weight and based on the total weight of the composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A carbonaceous pressed refractory brick consisting essentially of (1) from 60 to 90% refractory oxide aggregate, substantially all of which is coarser than 0.15 mm, and (2) a carbonaceous matrix of from 9.6% to 28.1% graphite, substantially all finer than 0.4 mm, 2% to 8% resin, and from 0% to 6% other carbon material, said matrix being substantially free of oxide refractory material, all percentages being by weight and based on the total weight of the composition.
