MONOLITHIC REFRACTORIES (PDF)

In this valuable handbook, various monolithic refractories currently in use are described in detail, with particular attention paid to their chemical and physical behaviors during manufacturing, installation, and the duty cycle. Critical aspects of reactions involved within the refractory body as it approaches the used temperature within the processing environment are addressed from the practitioner's point of view. To ensure optimum performance, the application, installation, and design of refractory components are described in detail. In short, the book contains a comprehensive discussion on monolithic refractories concerning their formulation, manufacture, and use. The information is most current, with suitable tables and figures. Also, historical perspectives on the evolution of the refractory industry are provided.This book is primarily designed to serve as a handbook for practicing ceramic engineers, scientists, raw material suppliers, and research and development personnel in the refractory manufacturing industry and industries associated with high temperature material processing. It may also be used in courses for ceramic engineering students specializing in refractories.Contents: Raw MaterialsCastable RefractoriesPumpable CastablesPlastic RefractoriesRamming MixesGunning MixesMortarsCoatingsDry VibratablesWear MechanismsManufacturingApplication DesignsEvaluation and TestsLiningReadership: Professionals dealing with refractories — raw material suppliers, manufacturers and users.Key Features:Multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted coverage of sea changes of the Chinese reformsLucidly written and concisely presentedConvenient surveys for professionals and general public to gain a quick and reliable understanding of the complexities of various dimensions of China
