Refractory materials are heat-resistant materials used in furnaces, boilers, smelters, and other high-temperature structures. All industrial production processes are dynamic with regards to optimisation, implementation of new technologies, and the pressures of environmental demands and legislation. The need to cut production cost and time ...
Performance of refractory lining depends largely on both the design and installation of the refractory lining. The kiln, furnaces, or the reactors used in modern cement, lime calciner, petrochemical, or glass industries are huge and massive in size and require thousand of tons of different refractories of different physical and chemical characteristics.
Refractories are special materials designed to withstand the harsh conditions of high-temperature processes that are fundamental to our daily lives. Vital to the efficiency, functionality and safety of countless industrial operations, refractories play an indispensable role in the production of iron and steel, cement, petrochemicals, non ...
By replacing the general dense refractory products with thermal insulating refractories, (1) the heat storage and dissipation loss of the furnaces can be reduced by 40–90%; (2) the production efficiency can be promoted, especially for discontinuous thermal equipment due to the rapid heating up and cooling of furnace; and (3) the weight of ...
Since the beginning, refractories have been the foundation of our company. Our founder Tom Zampell's extensive knowledge of craftsmanship and quality, devotion to the process, and strict safety measures elevated Zampell to become an industry leader. Since 1966, we have adhered to the same fundamental principles while staying up-to-date with ...

Refractories are either considered consumable goods, which must be continually replaced (as in steel making) or investment goods, where the materials are replaced less frequently (as in glass furnaces or reformers for the energy industry). Although it is critical to manufacturing, refractories represent less than 3% of COGS in steel ...

Meaning of Refractories: The term refractories embraces all materials used in the arts for the construction of heat resisting containers, using the word in its broadest sense, whether it be to afford space for the evolution of gases in combustion processes or the ...
2. 2 Introduction Refractory is any material which can withstand high temperature, without softening or suffering a deformation in shape. Main Objective 1. To confine heat e.g. to resist loss of heat. 2. To resist abrasive and corrosion action of molten metals, slags and gases at high temperatures, without undergoing softening or distortion in shape.
Abstract: This paper reviews the raw materials, additives, general properties, oxidation and corrosion of MgO-C refractories, which are irreplaceable in the steelmaking process. Because it is a composite refractory, it benefits from the combined properties of magnesia and carbon. High-purity magnesia aggregates (fused as well as sintered), graphite …
Refractories are used in countless industries, from iron and steel to energy and glass. Manufacturing in its current form could not exist if not for the technological advancements in refractory materials since the Industrial Revolution. A Simple Start Because of their chemical composition and reactions, refractories are fairly complex. However, the basic principles …
