    Refractories are materials that withstand high temperatures and thermal shock, resist slag and gases, and maintain their strength. They are used to line furnaces and other high-temperature equipment to contain materials like metals in their molten state without contaminating the load. Different refractory materials are chosen based on the temperature of the process, whether it is above or below the melting point of the material, and design requirements.

    1
    Characteristics of Refractories
    1. Withstand high temperatures and sudden changes in temperature

    2. Withstand action of molten slag, glass, hot gases etc

    3. Withstand load at service conditions

    4. Withstand abrasive forces

    5. Conserve heat

    6. Have low coefficient of thermal expansion
