Do refractories have a melting point? If your answer to this question is "yes", our insightful training course will be of great value for you and your team.

Course objective: To understand the basic building blocks that make up the structure of a refractory material, where they are used and how they are made.

 

 

This course will explain:

  • The global refractory market
  • Material chemistry and physical properties
  • The in-service environment and application areas
  • Manufacturing processes of shaped and unshaped components
  • The various application areas of refractories.

 

 

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Understand how refractories are made
  • What determines their properties and how they behave
  • Distinguish between insulating and dense materials
