Thyme was founded in 1990 and is now established in various business segments (e.g. refractory raw materials, machinery, insulating materials, refractories, chemicals, and cement) in a global business environment.
Various grades of magnesia are produced by heating natural magnesite in China. In this paper, the detail processes of ordinary sintered magnesia, middle-grade sintered magnesia, high purity sintered magnesia and fused magnesia are summarised.
The energy transition from the incineration of fossil fuels to biomass confront refractory linings to severe corrosion issues, due to the high content of alkalis as well as the wide variety of biomass sources.
Magnesia-spinel and magnesia-hercynite bricks for thermal shock applications often show an enhanced crack propagation resistance due to an engineered microstructure design. In these materials, microcrack networks resulting from the thermal expansion mismatch between magnesia matrix and spinel/hercynite aggregates promote the activation of energy dissipating mechanisms within the so-called Fracture Process Zone (FPZ) during loading.
Due to severe service conditions, the life span of purging plugs is shorter than the lining of ladles, which results in lower production efficiency. To investigate the stress distribution, the thermal-solid modeling was applied to simulate the refining process experience by the purging plug.
The ceramics industry and above all the sectors with short innovation cycles, need personal contact, exchange and presentation opportunities. After the need to postpone ceramitec to 2022, the possibility was given for the industry to meet again in 2021. Messe München/DE and the partners of CERAMIC APPLICATIONS use together this possibility and offer the optimal platform for meeting and exchange organising the ceramitec conference. The in-person event is planned for 22–23 June 2021 in Munich/DE and takes place simultaneously with “automatica sprint” and “Laser World of PHOTONICS”.
ceramitec 2021 is postponed to 21–24 June 2022. The postponement was decided at the proposal of the Exhibitors’ Advisory Board of ceramitec/DE in October and is due to trade fair policy reasons.
Close and fruitful cooperation between this two companies lasts for nearly 25 years. DITHERM a.s. Praha, engaged in engineering, innovative designs and installations of refractory linings of thermal aggregates, and Průmyslová keramika Rájec-Jestřebí, a producer of predominantly non-shaped refractory masses and prefabricates made from these masses.
The refractory materials market size for the steel industry has the potential to grow by 5,20 Mt during 2020–2024, and the market’s growth momentum will accelerate during the forecast period.
VELCO GmbH supplied the newest model of a gunning robot for RH degasser to a steel plant in Eastern Europe. The unit has two gunning lances, one for inside and one for the outside gunning of RH-degasser snorkel.
