Refractory metals are the group of elements in the Periodic Table that exhibit very high resistance to Heat, Corrosion and Wear while exhibiting the highest melting points of any elements (2468 C/4474F to 3410 C/6170 F). The refractory metals most commonly used are Hafnium, Iridium, Molybdenum, Niobium/Columbium, Tantalum, Titanium, Tungsten, Rhenium and Zirconium.
