Fundamental Design of Steelmaking Refractories 1st Edition

Grasp the essentials of high-temperature lining with Fundamental Design of Steelmaking Refractories (1st Edition) by Debasish Sarkar, an authoritative guide for engineers, plant managers, and metallurgical students. This clear, practical volume demystifies refractory selection, lining design, thermal stresses, corrosion mechanisms, and performance optimization specific to modern steelmaking operations.

Discover well-organized chapters that translate complex material science into usable engineering solutions — from basic refractory properties and manufacturing processes to the nuances of ladle, furnace, and tundish linings. Practical examples, design principles, and performance-driven strategies help you reduce downtime, extend lining life, and control operational costs in steel plants across India, Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific markets.

Whether you’re troubleshooting premature wear, specifying refractories for high-alumina or magnesia applications, or designing for thermal shock resistance and chemical attack, this book provides the technical depth and actionable guidance needed on the job. It balances theory with hands-on insights, making it an indispensable reference for refractory engineers, maintenance teams, and academic programs in metallurgical engineering.

Compact yet comprehensive, Sarkar’s work equips professionals with tools to evaluate materials, predict failure modes, and implement durable lining systems that improve safety and productivity. Perfect for procurement decisions, plant audits, and curriculum use, this title is a must-have for anyone involved in steel production or refractory technology.
