Magnesite
Supplied as Dead Burnt Magnesite for refractory and flux applications.
Dead burnt magnesite is magnesium carbonate fired at high temperature until it is dense, stable and effectively unreactive. That stability is exactly what a basic refractory lining needs, and it is why dead burnt magnesite lines so many steel making vessels.
In welding consumables it is used in basic slag systems where a high-melting-point, chemically stable magnesia source is required.
