Ceramic refractory logs are made through a process of pouring powdered ceramic material and cement into a mold and letting it dry before coating it with heat-resistant paint. While all gas logs are made to withstand high heat, ceramic refractory gas logs are much more durable than ceramic fiber. Because of the higher quality of the material in ...
Thermal and refractory ceramics include insulating firebricks, monolithics, and fibers. All are used in the manufacture of scientific, aircraft, and military equipment; semiconductor processing; and thermal processing applications. Insulating firebricks are shaped like rectangular slabs and used to line blast furnaces for smelting operations.
Refractory ceramic fibers are synthetic fibers produced by the melting and blowing or spinning of calcined kaolin clay or a combination of alumina (Al2O3), silicon dioxide (SiO2), or other oxides, usually in a 50:50 weight ratio. The most common grade RCF fiber provided by most USA-based fabricators and …See more on thermalprocessing

Refractories and Industrial Ceramics is a bi-monthly journal publishing peer-reviewed articles on developments in refractory materials and ceramics.. Focusses on the practical aspects of production and use. Coverage includes scientific research, raw materials, production, equipment, heat engineering, and applications.
The term "refractory" refers to a material that does not melt at normal kiln temperatures or the capacity of a material to withstand heat without deforming or melting (in the industry being referenced). In ceramics, the first refractories encountered are normally kiln shelves and firebricks. Many natural clays and minerals are also refractory.

In this Progress in Ceramics Series, we have compiled 123 articles on the topic of refractory ceramics. The articles were selected from seven different ACerS publications: American Ceramic Society Bulletin (11 articles); The Journal of the ...
Refractory materials that keep their chemical and physical strength at temperatures above 500 °C are of high importance for metallurgical and other industrial processes. They consist of alumina, magnesia, silica, lime, and other metal oxides. Global production for the metal, glass, and ceramics industries is about 12 million metric tons.
