Description: The 27 peer-reviewed papers collected here together offer a plenitude of up-to-date information on “Refractories: Recent Developments in Materials, Production and Use”. The papers are conveniently arranged into RAW MATERIALS, TESTING, MANUFACTURING, SELECTION, DESIGN AND USE, SYSTEM MODELING, SIMULATION AND SELECTION CRITERIA.

Description: While iron and steel industries are the major users of refractory materials, applications in other areas such as power plants and waste incinerators are of growing importance. The appropriate use and maximum performance of the refractories cannot be achieved unless their interaction with the service environment is properly understood. The correlations between the microstructure of these materials and their thermochemical as well as thermomechanical properties greatly enhances this understanding.
