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.
