"The Manufacture of Refractory Stones" is a comprehensive guide that deals with the production of refractory materials. The author, Friedrich Wernicke, explains in detail the various types of refractory stones, including fireclay bricks, bauxite stones, magnesite stones, and dolomite stones. Notably, the high temperature resistance of magnesite, which reaches up to 3000 °C, makes it an indispensable raw material for the production of refractory bricks. The guide also provides insights into the manufacture of refractory mortars and their application in the construction industry. The information is based on the original edition from 1905, making it a valuable resource for professionals and enthusiasts interested in the field of refractory materials.
