What Are Refractories?

图片
  Refractories are a type of ceramic material engineered to endure extremely high temperatures, exceeding 1,000°F (538°C), as commonly encountered in modern manufacturing processes. These materials surpass metals in heat resistance and are utilized to line the hot surfaces within various industrial applications.   Beyond their ability to resist thermal stress and the physical effects induced by high temperatures, refractories are also capable of withstanding physical abrasion and chemical corrosion. This makes them indispensable in the production of petrochemical products and in the gasoline refining process.   Refractory products are generally classified into two main types: preformed shapes and unformed compositions, often referred to as specialty or monolithic refractories. Additionally, there are refractory ceramic fibers that, while similar to residential insulation in appearance, can insulate at much higher temperatures. Traditional forms of refractories, such as br...
