Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Preface

Dear Readers,

Refractories play a key role in all high-temperature applications and cover all the strategic industries such as steel, cement, glass, petrochemicals, energy plants, etc. The understanding of their mechanical, thermal, chemical and functional properties as controlled by their structure at nano-, micro- and macro-levels followed by chemical and physical interactions at interfaces/surfaces is an unlimited tool for continuous development and optimization.

Today the explosion in the price of raw materials as well as environment-related restrictions are challenging refractories companies to continuously develop innovative approaches in material design, material processing and product functionality. Their performance as well as their competitiveness and especially their sustainability are directly interlinked with the availability of industrially oriented well-educated young engineers by understanding refractories as multifunctional advanced ceramic components.

In 2009, the German Research Foundation (DFG) initiated a six-year Priority Program SPP 1418 entitled “Refractory Initiation for Lowering Emissions” for applied basic research in refractories by bridging different material disciplines and understanding refractories as multi-functional ceramic components. The main goals are lower emissions and lower thermal losses in high-temperature applications with improved steel quality in means of clean steel technology thanks to the impact of refractory innovations such as development of a new generation of carbon-bonded refractories with less carbon and development of oxide materials with excellent thermal shock performance.

In 2014 the crude steel production worldwide reached 1665 million tones and according to the World Steel Association by 2050 steel-use is projected to be 1.5 times higher than the present level in order to meet the needs and demands of a growing population. In case of steel production approximately 1 K thermal loss generates costs in the range of 5 cent per ton steel. New material approaches as explored in the priority program such as the addition of nanometer powders for nanoengineered refractories or multilayer designs and multilayer techniques for coarse-grain materials in functional components and lining constructions open the horizon of innovation in this high temperature sector. These investigations are supported by new testing approaches as well as simulation and modeling tools of the microstructure behavior for improved thermal shock performance and low contamination of the metal melt.

The international scientific as well as industrial community follows these activities, underlining the importance of the DFG’s Priority Program by generating international congresses under the banner “Refractories Technology to Sustain the Global Environment” (Kyoto, Japan, 2011), “Refractories Solutions Through Innovations”, (Calcutta, India, 2014) and “More Advanced Refractories, Greener High Temperature Industries”(Xian, China, 2016).

At this point I would like to thank all authors as well as review members, who promote innovation in refractories worldwide under an industrially oriented educational engineering umbrella.
