The continuous and ever expanding development of high-temperature
tech nology involves the use of high -temperature refractory
materials and one of the most important classes of these is the
oxides, i.e., compounds of elements with oxygen. Oxides are the
oldest refractory compounds known in technology and this is
connected with their high chemical stability and abundance in
nature. In addition to the use of oxides as raw materials for
metallurgical processes, the refractoriness, chemical stability,
and magnetic and other technically important properties of oxides
have been put to use since antiquity. At the present time the
importance of oxides as bases of many materials for new technology
is substantial and is growing rapidly with the development of
processes for the direct conversion of various forms of energy into
electrical energy, the development of nuclear technOlogy,
electronics, semiconductor and dielectric technOlogy, and cosmic
technology, where the refractoriness and chemical stability of
oxides are used in combination with their specific physical
properties. Oxides are the foundation of the so-called oxygen
-containing or oxygen refractory materials, which are fundamental
to high-temperature tech nology. Oxides are no less important as
the bases of practically all structural ma terials and rocks. A
number of oxides are involved in biological processes."
