      abstract = {This book promotes understanding of the raw material  selection, refractory design, tailor-made refractory  developments, refractory properties, and methods of  application. It provides a complete analysis of modern iron  and steel refractories. It describes the daily demands on  modern refractories and describes how these needs can be  addressed or improved upon to help achieve the cleanest and  largest yields of iron and steel. The text contains  end-of-chapter summaries to help reinforce difficult  concepts. It also includes problems at the end of chapters  to confirm the reader's understanding of topics such as  hoop stress modeling in steel ladle and vessels,  establishment of thermal gradient modeling , refractory  corrosion dynamics, calculation of Blast furnace trough  dimension based on thermal modeling, to name a few. Led by  editors with backgrounds in both academia and industry,  this book can be used in college courses, as a reference  for industry professionals, and as an introduction to the  technology for those making the transition to industry.  Stands as a comprehensive introduction to the science and  technology of modern steel and iron-making refractories  that examines the processes, construction, and potential  improvement of refractory performance and sustainability;  Serves as a versatile resource appropriate for all levels,  from the student to industry novices to professionals;  Reinforces difficult-to-grasp concepts with end-of-chapter  summaries; Maximizes reader understanding of key topics,  such as refractory selection for steel ladle and vessels,  and their corrosion dynamics, with real life problems.},
