Refractory Materials | Carbides, Nitrides, Borides, Silicides
Refractory materials are special substances designed to withstand extremely high temperatures, mechanical stresses and corrosive environments. They are vital in industries such as metallurgy, ceramics, aerospace and energy, and are used in the manufacture of furnace linings, heat shields and high-temperature components, among others.
Refractory Materials Overview
Refractory materials based on carbon (C), nitrogen (N), boron (B), and silicon (Si) are known for their excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and high-temperature resistance. These materials—including carbides, nitrides, borides, and silicides—are essential for industrial and technological fields requiring extreme durability.
