The course will offer a comprehensive understanding of the critical role that computational and characterization tools are playing in addressing the challenges of the new refractory era. Participants will move beyond daunting fundamental concepts and explore some practical applications of these tools, which include computational thermodynamics, public material databases, properties prediction by molecular dynamics and microstructural assessment by electron- and synchrotron-based techniques. In this sense, key topics on thermal efficiency at high temperatures, slag engineering and flexible refractory microstructures will be discussed.
