MTEN 403 — Refractories

Materials Science and Engineering · University of Ghana

This course details with the fundamentals of refractory materials; what they are? Why they are important? And where they are applied? The course enables the students to develop an understanding of basic structure, properties, classification, raw materials, production methods, thermal shock and corrosion behavior. Various refractory materials are treated from raw materials through processing, properties and applications. Refractory installation and maintenance will be covered. General properties (physical, mechanical, thermal and thermomechanical) of refractory materials and their importance are also treated. Principles of corrosion resistance of refractory materials and the applications of phase diagrams to processing and applications of refractories are covered.
