Best Answer

they are oxides that retains their physical strength at very high temperatures. this makes them suitable to be used as materials for things like crucibles and furnace linings. They can be subdivided into acidic, alkaline or neutral refractory oxides. an example is SiO2.

What are refractory materials?

They are materials , usually bricks, made with silicon oxides, that will withstand extremely high heat, without decomposition or chemical reaction. e.g. Blast Furnaces are internally lined with refactory bricks to with stand tha 1100 oC temperature of the furnace. The metal shell/chassis of the furnace would melt. Outside these refractory bricks is a water jacket to prevent heat escaping, into the outside environment.
