| Carbon Bonded Ceramics | CBC's are a highly refractory material based on alumina, zirconia or magnesia bonded with carbon used in critical products such as shrouds and nozzles in the steel continuous casting process |
| Casting Fluxes | a chemical (usually in powder or granule form) which is added to liquid metal in a furnace or ladle to promote fusing, cleaning or to prevent the formation of oxides |
| Ceramic Foam Filters | a ceramic product formed with a honeycomb foam structure, commonly used in the foundry to remove defects from the molten metal stream |
| Commodity Lining | low unit cost castable or other refractory material, as used in the lining of furnaces and transfer ladles |
| Continuous Casting | a process in which steel slabs, blooms and billets are cast continuously (rather than into a series of separate ingots) |
| Crystalline Component | a component with a regular and predictable crystalline structure |
