Refractory materials — castable, plastic, gunning mix and fibre
What each monolithic refractory family is, why a lining is usually two layers rather than one, the properties that trade against each other when a material is chosen, and why strength and insulation pull in opposite directions.

Why water content decides what a castable lining becomes, the water quality limits and why stainless steel tightens the chloride one, what a dirty mixer does, how flash set happens, and the temperature window installation has to sit inside.
