Heat Resistance
Heat resistance refers to the ability of a material to maintain its structural integrity and performance under high temperatures. In the context of metallurgical furnaces, it's the difference between a material enduring the scorching heat or crumbling under the pressure.
The importance of heat resistance lies in its capacity to prevent deformation, degradation, or failure of materials when exposed to thermal stress. Without adequate heat resistance, materials may soften, melt, warp, crack, or undergo chemical changes, leading to reduced performance, shortened lifespan, or even catastrophic failure of components or structures.
