Refractory materials are basically used for strengthening the casting materials used in the casting process.

Refractory materials are basically used for strengthening the casting materials used in the casting process. Correct Answer False

Refractory materials are materials that have high melting points and they basically act as a heat resisting barrier between high and low temperature zones. Refractory materials are useful in constructing structures like boilers, furnaces etc. as they minimize heat losses through the structure during working conditions.
