Ceramics Research Centre - Part of Corus Research, Development & Technology


Materials analysis & engineering
Selecting the best materials for your high temperature application is crucial for its performance.
The Ceramics Research Centre has extensive knowledge and experience to provide you with tailor-made solutions for selecting the most adequate materials for your installation. In addition, the CRC has in-house equipment for designing recipes, producing and testing new dedicated refractory materials for specific applications. Moreover, the CRC has an established reputation on materials characterisation, which is essential in understanding materials behaviour.
Thermal & mechanical testing Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art testing techniques for refractories, ceramics and metals					Thermodynamic modelling Crystallization processes can be predicted using phase equilibria model calculations
Microstructural analysis Detailed microstructural analysis can provide insight into chemical and physical mechanisms affecting ceramic and metallic materials					Minerology applied to steel slag Slag is a valuable waste product. Read more about its applications here
Materials development & production We are active in the development of refractories, ceramics, cermets, coatings and powder metallurgy
