Refractories description |
---|
A refractory mineral is a mineral that is resistant to decomposition by heat, pressure, or chemical attack. It most commonly refers to a mineral which retains its strength and form at high temperatures. * ASTM C71 defines refractories as "...non-metallic materials having those chemical and physical properties that make them applicable for structures, or as components of systems, that are exposed to environments above 1,000 °F (811 K; 538 °C)."Refractory materials are used in furnaces, kilns, incinerators, and reactors. * Refractories are also used to make crucibles and moulds for casting glass and metals and for surfacing flame deflector systems for rocket launch structures. Today, the iron- and steel-industry and metal casting sectors use approximately 70% of all refractories produced. |
