Moving into a new series specifically about monolithic materials, this introduction episode shows how castables aren't just dirt in a bag. How is a monolithic different than a brick? What goes into a castable that helps it wet out and flow with so little water? What holds it together at room temperature? All important questions that we discuss here, so listen in now. If you have any questions or would like to discuss something in more detail, reach out to use at Technical-Marketing@ThinkHWI.c...

Part 2 of the Refractories 101 series, this episode aims to look under the hood of a refractory body and understand what all goes into making these high temperature materials. We'll talk about important size and composition considerations when designing a refractory. We'll talk about what holds refractories together. We'll talk about how to not have refractories get torn apart. So listen in and learn refractories better man. If you have any questions or would like to discuss something in more...

Welcome to the age old question of 'what is a refractory?' and where we truly start our refractories fundamentals course. Listen in and learn what refractories are and where they're used. We'll discuss what goes into a refractory and what is needed to make it the high performance material that can contain the fires of industry. Get a sense of different types of refractories and think about where you might choose one over the other. Your refractory journey is about to begin! If you have any qu...

Welcome to HTT.edu! We're starting off this series with a technology-light introduction to fundamental chemistry and materials science concepts required to best understand the refractory industry. What is a ceramic? What is a refractory? What are they made of and why? If you're new to engineering and materials or it's been a while since you've donned a graduation cap, feel free to start here to get up to speed. Otherwise, there's no harm in jumping straight on to Refractories 101. For any que...
