Abstract:
Because of the numerous advantages of specialty refractories, such as availability, cost, ease of installation, etc., in industrial applications, their utilization has increased significantly in recent years. A large portion of that increase involves the usage of refractory concrete, and thereby the effect of water content or consistency on properties and performance acquires increased importance.

Steel fibers can be used to provide integral reinforcement in refractory concretes, resulting in significant improvements in service life in some applications. Since 1970, both stainless and carbon steel fibers have been used successfully. . .Until a few years ago the primary applications for steel fiber reinforced refractory concretes have been in steel plants, but recently the material is being successfully applied in process equipment in the aluminum industry, cement and lime manufacturing, petrochemical industry, and various types of foundaries. As the availiabity of these materials increases, it is likely that their use will increase in the proven applications and will expand into areas not yet tapped.
