Classification of Refractory Fibers and The Three Ways of Heat Transfer Refractory materials with a fiber structure are a new variety of highly efficient refractory materials. According to the phase composition divide it into glassy, microcrystalline-glass (Sitar silicon microcrystalline glass) and crystalline fibers (whiskers or viscose filaments). According to the fiber length: long fibers artificial short fibers and short fibers. Long fiber materials are made based on silica (quartz glass fibers) and the following binary systems: SiO2-ZrO2, SiO2-HfO2, SiO2-GeO2, and SiO2-ThO2 materials.
