The use of sintered CaO as a refractory material is not uncommon. Refractory material based on lime as the lining of the Bessemer converter was applied for the first time in 1875 in order to carry out desulphuring and dephosphoring of the molten pig iron. Due to interaction of the porous burned CaO with the atmospheric moisture during dead time followed by damage and disintegration of this case...

Near fully dense tungsten coatings onto molybdenum substrates have been demonstrated using the Supersonic Laser Deposition (SLD) process. This is a characteristic that is not readily achievable with refractory materials. The tensile strength of the tungsten deposited coatings, 724MPa, is comparable to that of wrought tungsten with no evidence of melting or substrate grain growth. The results ha...

Products of the refractory industry are key for production heavy goods such as steel and iron, cement, aluminum glass. Corresponding industries dependent on thermal processes to manufacture their products, which in turn would not be possible if there were no materials, bricks or mixes. For primary raw materials semi-finished products corundum, bauxite zircon used. Industrial recycling reduce de...
