Refractory metals are a select category of materials that have excellent mechanical performance under extreme heat, pressure, and wear. They possess physical and chemical properties that are valuable to certain industries where regular metals cannot perform. Refractory metals have a melting point above 2000°C, which provides excellent thermal resistance and durability.

Key Features:

• High Melting Point: Refractory metals can withstand high temperatures without deforming, melting, or weakening.
• Strength: Refractory metals maintain structural integrity while under extreme weights and stress.
• Corrosion and Wear Resistance: Refractory metals resist chemical attack, oxidation, and abrasion.

The refractory metals are important to the aerospace, defense, electronics, industrial manufacturing, and energy systems industries, where durability and performance mean safety and survivability. Examples of parts are jet engine components, rocket nozzles, furnace parts, cutting tools, electric contacts, and radiation shielding. These metals are uniquely comparable for use in environments that require durability under extreme heat and mechanical fatigue.
