A '''refractory''' is a material which is resistant to high temperatures. It is used in the construction of furnaces, crucibles, [[rocket]] nozzles and other applications where a material is required to remain solid at high temperatures and especially when it is required to have good mechanical strength at high temperature.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Many carbides make good refractory materials, as do some metal oxides. A few metals, notably [[tungsten]] and [[niobium]], also have useful high-temperature properties (although metals are not normally regarded as refractories).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Examples==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Silicon carbide]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Alumina]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Graphite]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kaolin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Silica]]&lt;br /&gt;
