Application and development direction of refractory materials

Refractory materials such as refractory metals, alloys and their compounds and composite materials have always been developed as high-tech materials due to their unique high melting point and some other special properties, and play an important role in national economy. For example, the hard alloy with WC as the hard phase has become the "teeth" of modern industry, and titanium has become the third metal after iron and aluminum. With the development of science and technology, increasingly demanding requirements for materials have been put forward, in the traditional materials have been more and more unable to meet these new needs today, refractory materials are increasingly showing its unique advantages, especially in the fields of national defense, aerospace, electronic information, energy, chemical protection, metallurgy and nuclear industry has an irreplaceable role. It has become one of the most active research fields in materials science.

High performance refractory material is the product of the development of the cutting-edge field. On the contrary, the realization of high performance refractory material provides the material foundation for the development of the cutting-edge field.
