The influence of curing time on mechanical properties and microstructure of taphole clay by Xiao Wang, Houyou Zhou, Wen-bo Zhao, Qingwen Li, Ya Yin

“…The main hydration products of the taphole clay materials are calcium carbonate and ettringite, whose contents increase with curing time, promoting the hydration process and enhancing mechanical strength. The internal structure of the material becomes denser with increasing curing time, resulting in decreased porosity, specific surface area, the average pore size and total pore volume, and the formation of a dense spatial structure, which explains the trend of strength change. …”
