REVIEW OF THE MONOGRAPH BY E.V. PROTOPOPOV, M.V. TEMLYANTSEV "MODERN TECHNOLOGIES FOR INCREASING THE DURABILITY OF OXYGEN CONVERTER LINING". - NOVOSIBIRSK: SB RAS, 2023. - 324 P.

Abstract

The monograph under review is a comprehensive scientific publication that includes analytical, research, and production-technical sections. Chapters 1–6 critically analyze, systematize, and summarize the latest information on existing technologies of oxygen-converter steelmaking, unit designs, equipment linings, and repair methods, and types of refractory materials used. The issues of organizing “hot” lining repairs, blower devices, units, and materials used are considered. Information on modern methods of monitoring and analyzing lining durability during operation is presented. The monograph uses a significant (239 sources) list of domestic and foreign publications, which indicates a sufficiently deep and comprehensive analysis of the scientific and practical problem being solved.

The monograph’s particular scientific value is represented by the author’s own research and development material, which summarizes the work in the area under consideration carried out over the past 30 years, which is described in Chapters 7–11.
