  • peamiselt mineraalse koostisega kõrge sulamistemperatuuriga materjal, mis on keemiliselt vastupidav ka kõrgel temperatuuril
  • a non-metallic material used to line furnaces, kilns, ovens, and some high-temperature reactors, which can maintain its mechanic strength at high temperature
tulekindel materjal
refractory preferred
Usage examples
  • Composed principally of ceramics, refractories are employed in great quantities in the metallurgical, glassmaking, and ceramics industries, where they are formed into a variety of shapes to line the interiors of furnaces, kilns, and other devices that process materials at high temperatures.
refractory material
Usage examples
  • There is no clearly established boundary between refractory and non-refractory materials, though a practical requirement often cited is the ability of the material to withstand temperatures above 1100°C without softening. Refractory materials must be strong at high temperatures, resistant to thermal shock, chemically inert, and have low thermal conductivities and coefficients of expansion.
