Title: Martin Copperthwaite: Innovator in Refractory Materials
Introduction
Martin Copperthwaite is a notable inventor based in Sheffield, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of refractory materials, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on developing innovative cementitious formulations that enhance the performance of refractory components.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a basic refractory cementitious material and components thereof. This formulation is self-setting when mixed with water and can be cast into monolithic refractory components capable of resisting molten metal and repeated thermal shocks. The formulation consists of three main components: high purity magnesia, high purity alumina, and high alumina cement. The magnesia content is between 60 to 95% by weight, while the alumina must be at least 1% by weight of the total components. Castings produced from this formulation can survive repeated flame testing, outperforming conventional magnesia refractories.
Another significant patent is for composite moulded refractory articles. This invention features a sliding gate valve slide plate that includes an integral collector nozzle. It is formed from two conjoined refractory concrete mouldings with a metal foil lying in the joint. The foil oxidizes in service to create a bond between the concretes, which may have different formulations. The slide plate is cast in two steps, allowing for a product that requires minimal finishing before installation.
