The 34 pages that link to Refractory, each with the reason it gives.

• Lost-wax castingRelated: The investment mold must resist the heat of pouring and solidifying metal.

• BauxiteRelated: Some bauxite is processed into refractory materials for high-temperature service.

• AluminaRelated: Alumina's heat resistance makes it a common refractory material.

• CastingRelated: Molds and furnace linings need refractory materials to tolerate molten metal.

• FoundryRelated: Furnace linings and some molds rely on refractories to contain molten metal.

• Comet nucleusRelated: Silicate minerals and organic-rich solids can persist after nucleus ices sublimate.

• Thermal crackingRelated: Refractories face steep thermal gradients and repeated cycles that can cause cracking.

• ChromiteRelated: Chromite’s heat resistance supports use in furnace linings and foundry sands.

• Solar furnaceRelated: Furnace experiments test how refractories endure concentrated heat and thermal cycling.

• AndalusiteRelated: Andalusite is used as a raw material for refractory products.

• BruciteRelated: Brucite-derived magnesia is used in refractory linings for furnaces.

• MagnesiteRelated: Magnesia made from magnesite is used in refractory linings for furnaces and kilns.

• Magnesium carbonateRelated: Magnesite is processed into magnesium oxide for refractory linings.

• SillimaniteRelated: Sillimanite-rich minerals serve as feedstock for some refractory products.

• Spinel groupRelated: Some synthetic spinel compositions are used in high-temperature ceramics.

• Induction furnaceRelated: The lining separates the molten charge from the coil and must withstand furnace temperatures.

• Fire (ceramics)Related: Kiln walls and supports must withstand the temperatures and chemical conditions of firing.
