Refractory raw materials are distinguished by their

  • A.their very low cost compared with other materials
  • B.their plasticity when mixed with a little water
  • C.their solubility in water at ordinary room temperature
  • D.ability to withstand high temperature without softening

Answer: D

Correct answer: ability to withstand high temperature without softening

Refractoriness is the defining property: the material must retain its strength and its shape at the working temperature of a furnace or kiln. That means a low content of fluxes - alkalis, iron, lime - and a high content of alumina, silica or magnesia. Refractory materials are neither cheap nor plastic, and nothing used in a furnace lining is soluble in water.
