REFRACTORIES
Refractrory materials are those materials, which retain their stability
at high temperatures. ASTM C71 refractories defined as
„non-metallic materials with chemical and physical properties,
allowing them to use for such structures, systems or components which are exposed to conditions above 500 °C“.
Refractories must be chemically and physically stable at
high temperatures. Depending on the environment should be resistant to thermal shock, chemically
inert or have a specific range of thermal conduktivity and coefficient of thermal expansion.
Aluminium oxides (Al2O3) is
one of the most important materials used for manufacturing
refractories. Some applications require a special refractories. One of
them is silicon carbide, which is used in very difficult conditions.

Chromium oxide Cr2O3 is very
resistant to high temperatures, the temperature of melting is
2275 ° C, it is important refractories, which is used among
others in the productions of
special refractory bricks. They are made from either pure
chromium oxide or is supplemented by other more refractory
materials, especially silicon carbide SiC or aluminium oxide
Al2O3.
