Dr. Joseph Homeny, Director of the Materials Testing Research Center, has announced the next “Introduction to Refractories” Course will be held June 9, 10 and 11 in Westerville, Ohio.
INTRODUCTION TO REFRACTORIES
由三天的课程赞助Edward Orton Jr. Ceramic Foundation.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is an intensive combination of classroom lectures and laboratory exercises that address most of the significant topics in the field of refractories, both theoretically and experimentally. The individual sessions are titled in the accompanying outline of the daily topics. These lectures follow the natural evolution of refractories from their mineral and synthetic origins, to their chemical, mineralogical and microstructural constitution, and their application, installation and degradation in service. The afternoon laboratory sessions are designed to give the participants experience with common refractory tests.
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE?
Engineers, managers, contractors, purchasing agents, furnace operators, maintenance supervisors and technicians who are involved in the manufacturing, marketing, research and development, or consumption of refractory materials will find this course beneficial. Refractory installers and maintenance personnel may particularly benefit from better installation and maintenance techniques. A high level technical or engineering background is not essential to take this course, although technical professionals will find the subject matter informative and useful.
课程目标：
The objectives of this course are to introduce the participants to the ceramic engineering fundamentals of all of the classes of refractories, their constitution, their application, and some of their degradation and failure processes. The laboratory sessions are designed to provide the participants with direct experience in fabricating test specimens and the application of standard ASTM test methods.
