Abstract:
A refractory includes a cement, a binder and a matrix. The matrix comprises both stainless steel fibers and organic fibers. The refractory can be easily cast, without additional steel reinforcement, into large fire wall 16 panels 10 capable of meeting the requirements of testing conducted in accordance with ASTM E-119, Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials in support of IEEE Std. 979-1994, Guide for Substation Fire Protection. The fire wall 16 assembly withstood the fire endurance test without passage of flame and gases hot enough to ignite cotton waste during a four-hour fire exposure. The assembly also withstood a 45? water stream for five minutes immediately following the four-hour fire exposure period. This is a stringent mechanical requirement, as all fire walls 16 must maintain their integrity before, during and after a fire, per the Universal Building Code=s definition of a true fire wall 16.

Abstract:
The method for producing a piece made of sintered silica includes the following steps: a) casting a slurry, which is based on an amorphous silica powder and on a liquid, between the inner (14) and outer (12) parts of a mold (10) in such a manner as to delimit a wall (38) of the piece (40); b) evacuating, at least in part, the liquid; c) removing the piece from the mold whereby obtaining a green piece; d) additionally drying the green piece, and; e) sintering the green piece. This method is characterized in that in step b), the solvent is evacuated through a single inner (14) and outer (12) part of the mold (10) in at least one are delimiting a useful portion of the wall (38), the impermeable part having a deformable lining (30).
