Refractory Materials and Testing Training Course
In person course
Duration: 2 days | Learner level: Adaptable to suit audience
This two‑day course introduces the fundamentals of refractory materials and how they are tested in practice. Participants will develop an understanding of how refractory materials are manufactured, how their microstructure influences performance, and why this knowledge is essential to interpreting test results.
The course then explores common refractory test methods, what each test measures, and how results should be used – and not misused – when making technical and commercial decisions. This course provides a strong foundation for anyone working with refractories, regardless of prior experience.
Skills gained
- Refractory fundamentals
- Microstructural understanding
- Test interpretation
- Technical judgement
