A study was made of the properties of aluminosilicate powders of various compositions and their influence on the densification during granulation. The authors established relationships between the porosity and density of the granules with various concentrations of A1/sub 2/O/sub 3/ with bulk densities and angles of natural slope. It is shown that to obtain dense and strong green articles and fired aluminosilicate granules with the minimum shrinkage, it is necessary to use bodies with a high bulk density and low internal friction, which is attained for alumina by using batches with the maximum concentration of a-A1/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and grains with a pore-free structure, and for aluminosilicate refractories - an increased content of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ within the limits of each type of article.
