Abstract
The electrical arc furnace (EAF) classified as a special waste contains many flux components producing melts during a sintering process, so it decreases the sintering temperature and improves the mechanical properties of specimens. Increasing dust content in a clay-dust system brick, however, may cause the fraction defective higher due to the excessive liquid produced. To control the liquid behavior produced during sintering process for the clay-dust system specimens, the $Al_2O_3$ was added and the physical properties were analyzed. The microstructure for the clay-dust system body sintered with $Al_2O_3$ became homogeneous and the overall size of pores decreased. Adding $Al_2O_3$ to clay-dust system body increased the mechanical properties and the temperature of maximum strength increased as much as $50^{\circ}C$, and the apparent density increased and the absorption decreased. The mullite ($3Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$) was produced during sintering process by reaction of $Al_2O_3$ and $SiO_2$ which could participate to liquid-producing-process and the viscosity of melts increased which was proved by measuring a critical viscosity temperature (Tcv) therefore, the refractoriness of specimens were improved to lower the fraction defective.
