Upon consideration of the SiO₂-Al₂O3 phase diagram, Figure 12.27, for each pair of the fol- lowing list of compositions, which would you judge to be the more desirable refractory? Justify your choices. (a) 20 wt% Al₂O3-80 wt% SiO₂ and 25 wt% Al₂O3-75 wt% SiO₂ (b) 70 wt% Al₂O3-30 wt% SiO₂ and 80 wt% Al₂O3-20 wt% SiO₂
