| Abstract |
| The development of new basic refractory raw material is a complex
process, one that requires careful consideration of many technological,
economic, market and commercial factors. This paper
reviews the issues considered and the approach adopted by the
sea-water magnesia manufacturer, Premier Periclase Limited,
Drogheda, Ireland, in the development of a new synthetic large
crystal sintermagnesia.
Because of the heavy dependence on magnesia usage in steelmaking,
key technical and market developments in that industry
over the past 10-15 years were examined. This, combined with a
study of basic refractories development and their wear mechanisms
in steel plant applications enabled the formulation of a sound
product strategy. Finally, the development programme from initial
prototype material preparation and testing to plant selection
and product launch in late 1990 is described. |
