Students will have to develop a test method for measuring the strength of magnetism in fired refractory samples. They will be provided with one source of stainless-steel fibers and will test how the amount of inclusion affects magnetic and refractory properties. After testing students should complete a short literature review based on their experiences to outline other sources for future testing. The literature search should comment on the compatibility of fibers in alumina-silicate refractories.
