Objectives

Provide knowledge in Technology of Refractory Ceramic Materials involving raw materials, processing, application and main wear mechanisms in operation, in order to improve the formation of graduate students in Materials Science and Engineering applies in all segments industry.

Motivation

Refractory materials are generic enablers of process industries transformation. Without them it wouldn’t be possible to generate and maintain heat or control reactions at high temperatures. Without them it we wouldn’t have developed any kind of technology and therefore would have been no advance in civilization. The field of Refractory Ceramic Materials Technology is a tool for the economic development of any country is sustainable, especially our industrial park is grounded in basic industry. It is for this purpose that the course of Refractory Ceramic Materials should be offered in PPGEM.

Syllabus

1. Introduction to Technology of Refractory Ceramic;
2. Raw materials used in refractories (characteristics and synthesis);
3. Refractory materials unformed (Characteristics, applications and processing);
4. Refractory materials formed (characteristics, applications and processing).
5. Fundamentals and behavior of corrosion in refractories;
6. Methodology to ‘’Post Mortem” studies;
7. Case studies.

Evaluation criteria

The course evaluation will be by application of a manuscript test, experimental activities and analysis of several scientific papers related to the topics studied.
