The special binding mechanism developed provides higher density, lower porosity and higher strengths compared with conventional castables. $\rho$-alumina was employed as a binder materials and nano-sized clay colloidal was added to enhance the drying strength preparing for the alumina vibrated castable. Lower water requirement for casting results in a denser product. The mechanical properties with dimensional stability and corrosion resistance behaviors have been improved by controlling the matrix compositions of the castable. The modulus of rupture and compressive strength after heat treatment at 150$0^{\circ}C$ are 92.34 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 370 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively. The activation energy of mullite formation is 11.47 kcal/mol.

The Corrosion behavior of the matrix of the $\rho$-alumina bonded alumina vibrated castable was, on the basis of Jabsen's theory, elucidated by use of the Kingery's reaction mechanism. Corrosion of the matrix during induction period was controlled by the molecular diffusion. The temperature dependence of activation process is well established by the Arrhenius plots. The difference of Ca concentration between slag and interface is 23.2%, which causes a driving force of the materials transfer. The extent of the corrosion of the matrix is more deeper than that of the sintered mullite, but the corrosion mechanism can be well employed as the reaction mechanism proposed by the Kingery. The life time of the castable may be well estimated by the corrosion mechanism of Kingery.

The degradation of refractories can be caused by erosion, friction of abrasive particles, as well as by corrosion by molten slag in the gasification reactors. There was little knowledge about the erosion of refractories so far. The castable refractories of which the maximum applying temperature of 1300 and $1500^{\circ}C$ were abraded using SiC particles varying the incidence angles. It was revealed that the maximum abrasion was occurred at the incidence angle of $60{\sim}75^{\circ}$ not at $90^{\circ}$ and thought that the porosity of the refractories was the principle factor.
