Neutral refractories are substances which do not combine with either acidic or basic oxides and for this reason constitute the most satisfactory furnace lining, e.g., chromite and carbon in graphite form. Chromite: Chromite refractories are made from core ores which mainly contain chromite, FeO . Al 2 O 3. The ore is finely powdered and mixed ...
Module 2 builds upon the principles discussed in Module 1 and considers the refractories used in primary steelmaking processes in the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking Furnace (BOF) and the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). The module introduces the different types of refractory used in different parts of the furnace and the reasons for these choices.
