A bstract The probable mechanism of the iron oxide bursting of chrome‐magnesite brick is discussed. An attempt was made to duplicate this effect in the laboratory. Results indicate that the bursting can be simulated in a laboratory experiment providing the atmosphere of the furnace is such that the penetrating iron oxide liquid is rich in magnetite. A test is proposed for characterizing the bursting resistance of various brick.
