  2. Refractory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory

    Refractory. Refractory bricks in a torpedo car used for hauling molten iron. In materials science, a refractory (or refractory material) is a material that is resistant to decomposition by heat or chemical attack and that retains its strength and rigidity at high temperatures. [1] They are inorganic, non-metallic compounds that may be porous or ...

  3. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    Refractory metals. Refractory metals are a class of metals that are extraordinarily resistant to heat and wear. The expression is mostly used in the context of materials science, metallurgy and engineering. The definition of which elements belong to this group differs. The most common definition includes five elements: two of the fifth period ...

  4. Fire brick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_brick

    Fire brick. Refractory bricks in a torpedo car used for hauling molten iron. A fire brick, firebrick, fireclay brick, or refractory brick is a block of ceramic material used in lining furnaces, kilns, fireboxes, and fireplaces. A refractory brick is built primarily to withstand high temperature, but will also usually have a low thermal ...

  5. Sialon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sialon

    SiAlON ceramics are a specialist class of high-temperature refractory materials, with high strength at ambient and high temperatures, good thermal shock resistance and exceptional resistance to wetting or corrosion by molten non-ferrous metals, compared to other refractory materials such as, for example, alumina. A typical use is with handling ...

  6. Investment casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investment_casting

    The cavity inside the refractory mould is a slightly oversized but otherwise exact duplicate of the desired part. Due to the hardness of refractory materials used, investment casting can produce products with exceptional surface qualities, which can reduce the need for secondary machine processes. [3]

  7. Zirconium diboride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium_diboride

    Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2) is a highly covalent refractory ceramic material with a hexagonal crystal structure. ZrB 2 is an ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) with a melting point of 3246 °C. This along with its relatively low density of ~6.09 g/cm 3 (measured density may be higher due to hafnium impurities) and good high temperature ...
