Refractory materials are materials that can withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions without degradation. These materials are commonly used in industrial processes such as metal melting, glass production, and chemical processing. Refractory materials are typically composed of heat-resistant materials such as ceramics, metals, and oxides, and are designed to resist high temperatures, thermal shock, and corrosion. They play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of high-temperature applications. Research in the field of refractory materials focuses on developing new materials with improved thermal properties, durability, and resistance to thermal cycling. This research also involves studying the microstructure and performance of refractory materials under different operating conditions to optimize their performance and longevity in demanding industrial applications.
