A comprehensive and up-to-date resource, Fundamental Design of Steelmaking Refractories offers a thorough exploration of key aspects related to the design and performance of steelmaking refractories. This invaluable guide provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of various topics, including the intricate processes of heat and mass transfer within the refractory, the influence of matrix impurities or their interactions on the phases, and the formation of invisible defects during refractory manufacturing that ultimately impact the wear, corrosion, and performance of different refractory linings for primary and secondary steelmaking vessels, tundish, and continuous casting refractories.

Furthermore, the book delves into specific sample topics such as phase formations and their correlation with impurity effects and refractory processing shortcomings, stress, wear, and corrosion in refractory design, equilibrium and non-equilibrium phases, packing, stress, and defects in compaction, and the degree of ceramic bonding. It also covers thermal and mechanical behavior, flow control mechanisms, continuous casting refractories, and premature refractory damage.

Designed to meet the academic requirements of undergraduate, postgraduate, and research scholars in the field of ceramic engineering, as well as metallurgical engineers and mechanical engineering outlets with an interest in the refractory and steel sectors, Fundamental Design of Steelmaking Refractories offers a comprehensive coverage of the subject matter. The book serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their knowledge and expertise in this critical area.
