Engineering Inspections: Furnaces & Refractories

We have moved.  Please, give me a moment so I can find the information for you...there we go.

When you use AIS furnace inspections and evaluations, you can feel good in knowing an experienced furnace and refractories material and science engineer will be there to assist you with your problem including:

• Refractory application

• Furnace inspection

• Refractory repair

• Furnace Brick & Refractories Selection

• Furnace and Kiln Insulation Blocks, Insulation Blankets, and Insulation Packing

• Temporary Furnace Repairs

• High (furnace) Abrasion Zones

• High Temperature Zones

• Mortar Evaluation

In addition, we can assistance with:

• Specialized Furnaces

• Kilns

• Combustors for Process Furnaces

• Combustors for Boilers

• Cement kiln Combustors

• Gas Turbines Combustors

Our extensive experience includes evaluating materials for commercial applications, concentrating on materials protection in extreme environments, such as resistance to high temperature, corrosion, and impact.  No job is too big or small for us to find a solution for you.

 

Whether you have monolithic refractories, composites, or fibrous refractories including both oxide and non-oxide ceramic materials, such as alumina, zirconia, and mullite, plus silicon carbide and silicon nitride we can bring experience and solutions. 

 

My name is Dr. Joseph Palko and I am in-charge of materials for AIS.  I have an advanced degree in ceramics and materials engineering, plus a degree in mechanical engineering, the combination of which gives me a unique insight into material problems which may have aspects other than chemical and thermal.  My experience includes work on applications as diverse as crucibles, combustors, fuel nozzles, refractory cements, investment casting shell molds, abrasive grinding wheels, catalytic substrates, and diesel particulate filters including these processing methods: pressing and sintering, electric melt and cast, injection molding, sol-gel, and chemical vapor deposition.  I have participated in DOE and EPRI programs. In addition, my training includes statistical analysis and metallurgy, which gives me an insight into the reactions which take place and the severity of damage in comparison to what would normally be expected in a given application.
