What are ceramics that can withstand high temperatures called?

Ceramics that can withstand high temperatures are called ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs). These ceramics are a type of refractory ceramics that can withstand extremely high temperatures without degrading, often above 2,000 °C. They are known for their high thermal conductivities and resistance to thermal shock, allowing them to withstand sudden and extreme changes in temperature. UHTCs are commonly used in various applications such as in the aerospace industry, where they are used as heat shields on spacecraft to protect against the intense heat during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. They are also used in industrial applications such as furnace and kiln insulation, metal crucibles, and in the dental implant field for creating permanent porcelain dental parts. Additionally, UHTCs are used in undersea cameras and other manned devices that require high-fire furnaces, as well as in advanced electro-ceramics for their unique electrical properties. These ceramics undergo a transformation process where they are exposed to high temperatures, often exceeding 3,000°F, to achieve their desired properties and functionality.
