Refractory Definition

Refractory definition is literally "reflective," which also shows the purpose of this material. Refractory is an expression used to describe the overall fire-resistant materials, which can withstand high temperatures (1000 F and higher) for a long time. They reflect the heat rather than absorbing and it is possible to reach high temperatures in a short time because of this attribute. Refractories can be manufactured from various materials. Fire bricks, glass, and even utensils can even enter into this material group. They are a much cheaper solution when compared to metallic materials and withstand more heat and corrosion. Examples of application areas are induction melting furnaces and metallurgical furnaces. In this context, it is also possible to use them as an insulating material.
