Potential operational problems and associated refractory problems encountered in dc transferred-arc plasma furnaces are discussed, and reference is made to the methods by which they were overcome in pilot-scale furnaces. As many of these problems are common to ac open-bath furnaces, they can be remedied by the use of existing technology, for instance by the introduction of water cooling to minimize erosion of the sidewalls. This cooling can be extended further to facilitate the formation of a protective layer of frozen slag or unreacted feed material at the side walls, which effectively separates the refractory from the molten metal and slag in the bath. However, owing to the nature of the energy-transfer mechanism in the dc transferred-arc furnace, particular care is needed in the design of the hearth and the roof of the furnace, and this requires a significant engineering input. The use of special composite refractories containing graphite or metallic phases are discussed in this context.

This memorandum summarizes information on refractory materials and composites as presented at the Eighth Meeting of the Refractory Composites Working Group in Fort Worth, Texas, January 14-16, 1964. This memorandum is based on 45 papers covering a wide variety of subjects ranging from basic studies on oxidation mechanisms to the development of specific pieces of hardware. The papers are reviewed and discussed briefly within the framework of the following four broad areas: materials technology, process technology, specific hardware applications, and evaluation techniques. Included in the section on materials technology are discussions dealing with bulk refractory materials and coatedmetal systems. Hot spraying, chemical vapor deposition, powder processes, joining, and extrusion are discussed in the section on process technology. The specific hardware applications cover rocket-motor components, nose caps, leading edges, hot skins, and fasteners. (Author).

Scientific and technical progress in our country depends largely on supplying im portant sections of the national economy with modern materials. This may be done by improving traditional materials, as well as by developing new ones that may be used under severe temperature, stress, and velocity conditions and that have com binations of certain physical and chemical properties. Refractory, superhard, corrosion-resistant, semiconductor, dielectric, and other materials are thus being created that will permit the development of new, highly effective tool materials, the implementation of technological processes in plasmas, and the solution of some materials-related aerospace and nuclear power problems. Refractory compounds play a vital role in the development of new materials and in the improvement of traditional materials. But information available on the properties of refractory compounds needed by scientists and engineers engaged in producing new materials for industry and technology has not yet been properly systematized. A first attempt in 1963 at such systematization (the first edition of this book) played some part in expanding the development and use of refractory compounds, but the information has now become seriously outdated, especially since in the last decade the study of refractory compounds in the USSR and abroad has grown very rapidly. In 1964 the handbook was, with certain additions, translated and published in the USA, but that publication was not readily available to the Soviet reader.
