Session 3: Glass-Refractory Interactions

The performance of the tank refractories is critical to the efficient production of high-quality glass.  This session will include talks on: New refractories; the relationship between microstructure, chemistry and performance of refractories; measurements of thermal and physical properties of refractories; behavior of refractories in service;  changes of chemistry and microstructure during service; corrosion;  glass–refractory interaction; and failure mechanisms.
