What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical skills to design and assess furnace linings for reliable operation at 1300 °C. You will study layering schemes, thickness choices, installation techniques, and essential thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties. Delve into zone-specific material selection, common failure modes, inspection methods, maintenance practices, and basic calculations to effectively compare datasheets and recommend durable, energy-efficient lining solutions.
