Module 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 module 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 module, you will be able to:

• Understand how refractories are made
• What determines their properties and how they behave
• Distinguish between insulating and dense materials
• Determine the differences between product types (e.g. low alumina, high alumina, chrome, magnesia brick, etc.)
