Thermal Shock
Refractories are tough and they specialize in their ability to withstand extremely high temperatures. However, their Achilles heel might be that you need to be conservative when ramping up or cooling down your refractory lined vessel, as many materials are prone to thermal shock. This month on HTT, we look at what thermal shock is, the main drivers of thermal shock and how we can engineer our refractory materials to be more resistant to thermal shock. And if you'd like to get more out of your...

Mortars Part 2
When it comes to mortar selection, it's a pretty universal thought to just use what you're comfortable with. But is that mortar right for the job at hand? When determining refractory linings, you want to get the best performance possible by selecting the best refractory possible. So why not do that with your mortar too? This episode, we'll be talking through mortar technologies like bonding types, water retention, consistencies, and strengths, as well as running through of some of the hall of...
