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.
