  4. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

    Insulation is an important part of the furnace because it improves efficiency by minimizing heat escape from the heated chamber. Refractory materials such as firebrick, castable refractories and ceramic fibre, are used for insulation. The floor of the furnace are normally castable type refractories while those on the walls are nailed or glued ...

  5. Ultra-high temperature ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature_ceramic

    Ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a type of refractory ceramics that can withstand extremely high temperatures without degrading, often above 2,000 °C. [1] They also often have high thermal conductivities and are highly resistant to thermal shock, meaning they can withstand sudden and extreme changes in temperature without cracking or breaking.

  6. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    Refractory metals, and alloys made from them, are used in lighting, tools, lubricants, nuclear reaction control rods, as catalysts, and for their chemical or electrical properties. Because of their high melting point, refractory metal components are never fabricated by casting. The process of powder metallurgy is used.

    A Refractory lined expansion joint is an assembly used in a pipe line to allow it to expand and contract [1] as climate conditions move from hot to cold and helps to ensure that the system remains functional. The refractory-lining can be vibra cast insulation with anchors, abrasion resistant refractory in hex mesh, gunned insulating refractory ...

  9. Electric arc furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc_furnace

    The interior is lined with refractory brick H, and K denotes the bottom lining. A door at A allows access to the interior. The furnace shell rests on rockers to allow it to be tilted for tapping. Initially "electric steel" produced by an electric arc furnace was a specialty product for such uses as machine tools and spring steel.
