What are the differences of ceramics and refractories? Is the ceramics belonging to refractories?
No In the high school chemistry, the former is talking about the traditional inorganic material, the latter is belonged to the new materials.
They are not the same. If you say the ceramic fibers, they have some common points because the ceramic fiber is one of the refractory. It is belonged to the lightweight refractory which can be considered a new type of refractory with the main ingredient of aluminum silicate (including aluminium oxide and silicon?dioxide).
Ceramic pottery ceramic collectively known species of high water absorption and low-grade sinter clay brick, tile-like material; high stone kinds of porcelain clay plus clay and other raw sintered body strength, low water absorption bowls, plates and other kinds of refractory high temperature structural materials are all non-machine ceramic refractory metal material belonging to a broader definition of ceramic refractory ceramic can be attributed to the high temperature ceramic refractory.
The ceramics and refractories are different with the porcelain ceramic with high temperature of 1300℃ as household porcelain refractory. The porcelain refractory material of 1450℃ as the same as the aluminum oxide, kaolin, refractory clay and other raw materials demand the deployment ratio of the raw material the same as the temperature.
