Refractoriness - Refractoriness

Japanese: 耐火度 - たいかど(英語表記)refractoriness
Refractoriness - Refractoriness
The degree of fire resistance of graphite, fireclay, etc. While the heat resistance of metal materials includes chemical reactions such as oxidation (→ heat-resistant alloys), fire resistance mainly refers to the resistance to softening caused by the heat of a flame. It is usually expressed by the SK number (→ Segel cone). Note that the English word refractoriness has a completely different meaning from refractivity (the ability of a material to refract light).

Japanese:
黒鉛,耐火粘土などの耐火の程度。金属材料の耐熱性が酸化などの化学反応も含めた意味であるのに対し (→耐熱合金 ) ,耐火度は主として火炎の熱気に対する耐軟化性をいう。通常は SK番号 (→ゼーゲルコーン ) で表わす。なお英語の refractorinessは refractivity (物質による光の屈折性) とまったく違う意味なので注意を要する。
