Abstract
A series of corundum based castables bonded by ρ–Al2O3 were prepared and fired at different temperature. Influences of apparent porosity and pore size distribution on thermal properties of the samples at different temperature were studied. The relationship between different pore size intervals and thermal conductivity of the samples was also discussed based on grey relational theory. The results show that thermal properties including thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat decline as apparent porosity of the samples increases. When apparent porosity of the samples keeps stable with little fluctuation, thermal conductivity increases as median pore size of the samples increases. It is found that thermal conductivity of the samples at a certain temperature presents the largest grey relational degree with the pore size interval that takes up the dominant volume ratio.
