The refractory materials market in GCC mainly relies on imports rather than production. Only a few local vendors are involved in the production of refractories in GCC.

Refractory materials, recognised for their exceptional resistance to heat and corrosive environments, are critical to many high‐temperature industrial processes.

Refractory materials are used in blast furnaces, air and process gas heaters, basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) vessels, steel and torpedo ladles, troughs, reformers, and electric arc furnaces.

Aluminum Industry Refractory material is employed as the lining of ladles, furnaces, or any crucibles in the aluminum industry, where molten metal is deposited until further processing is carried out.

Refractory materials can be considered how resistant products to the generation of high temperatures of the process at the furnaces and reactors [1, 2]. The reliability of a refractory for specific ...

The production of refractory materials from primary raw materials causes considerable amounts of CO 2, mainly because carbon dioxide has to be removed from carbonate-type raw materials. In addition, ...

Refractory metals are characterized by their extremely high melting points, which range well above those of iron, cobalt, and nickel. They are used in demanding applications requiring high ...

A rare mineral from a 1724 meteorite defies the rules of heat flow, acting like both a crystal and a glass. Thanks to AI and ...
