Abstract

The use of refractory materials is happening since old age. These materials are of great importance due to its characteristics, specially due to its resistance to high temperatures. Its use occurs in various segments, being the industry in general a great consumer of this product. Refractory concrete is one of these materials that are used in wide scale and has proved itself more and more useful in industrial processes. Besides, due to its greater resistance to compression and high temperatures and long service life, it has been on the discussions about sustainability and has generated a series of research about its properties, components, production and applications.
