TRACK: Non-metallics
The AI overview describes the main difference between chemical resistance and refractory properties as lying in their focus: chemical resistance describes a material's ability to withstand chemical attack or degradation, while refractory properties, specifically high refractoriness, describe a material's ability to withstand high temperatures without losing its form or strength.
This symposia presentation will explore two technologies often confused, focusing on their individual strengths and how to both differentiate and use them effectively.
We will offer some examples of how each technology is used in real-world scenarios. We will also look at some important material specification and installation differences. Finally, we will discuss how MTI, through its ceramics project development committee has furthered the knowledge base to support the MTI mission and meet membership needs.
