Refractories

Refractories are a type of ceramic material that can withstand high temperatures under various environmental conditions. Some refractories such as carbides, nitrides, and oxides (SiO2, Al2O3, SiC, and MgO) having a high melting point and wear resistance are used in extractive metallurgy, cement kilns and glass …

CERAMIC MATERIALS

Ceramic materials are inorganic and non-metallic materials. The crystal structure of ceramics is more complex because at least two elements are involved in making a ceramic compound. The ceramic materials exhibit useful properties like strength and hardness, high melting temperatures, chemical resistance, low thermal, and electrical …
