Super and Monolithic Refractories

Super and Monolithic Refractories       

Scope of beneficiation of indigenously available low grade refractory raw materials and their agglomeration. New

production technology: Introduction of high intensity mixer, Vacuum pressing, high pressure press, isostatic press,

precast refractories. Development of carbon bearing refractories: Magcarbon, alumina carbon, alumina-magnesiacarbon, alumina-Sic-C, Zirconia refractories and carbon refractory. Different   binders used for manufacture of

carbon bearing refractories. Refractory application in secondary steel making, continuous casting, fertilizer and

petrochemical industries. Factors affecting the performance of refractories. Status of refractory industries in India in

context to production of steel, cement glass and its future. Technological aspects of design and application of

monolithics: Castables  of different kinds, gunning and spraying, ramming masses, mortars. Microstructure and

properties of refractory products. Better understanding of phase equilibrium and sintering in controlling

microstructure for various refractory properties.
