Riassunto

This book explains the refractories from different fundamental aspects, even with the support of phase diagrams, and also details the prominent applications of these industrial materials. The initial chapters cover fundamentals of refractories, classifications, properties, and testing, while later chapters describe different common shaped and unshaped refractories in detail and special refractories in a concise manner. The second edition includes new classifications, microstructures, the effect of impurities with binary and ternary phase diagrams, and recent trends in refractories including homework problems and an updated bibliography.

Features:

• Provides exclusive material on refractories
• Discusses detailed descriptions of different shaped and unshaped refractories
• Covers concepts like environmental issues, recycling, and nanotechnology
• Explores details on testing and specifications including thermochemical and corrosion behavior
• Includes a separate chapter on trends of refractories and other issues

This book is aimed at junior/senior undergraduate students and researchers of ceramics, metallurgical engineering, and refractories.
