Steel fibers can be used to provide integral reinforcement in refractory concretes, resulting in significant improvements in service life in some applications. Since 1970, both stainless and carbon steel fibers have been used successfully. . .Until a few years ago the primary applications for steel fiber reinforced refractory concretes have been in steel plants, but recently the material is being successfully applied in process equipment in the aluminum industry, cement and lime manufacturing, petrochemical industry, and various types of foundaries. As the availiabity of these materials increases, it is likely that their use will increase in the proven applications and will expand into areas not yet tapped.

High temperature thermal insulation materials that are lightweight, durable, and low cost have important applpications in heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) designed for high efficiency modern power plants that produce power at combined efficiency (PACE). . .State-of-the-art samples tested in the duct manways of the Public Service Company in Lawton, Oklahoma survived conditions of blast, heat, and transient temperatures.
