D'autre part, en cours de cuisson, ces argiles diverses changent de couleur et réagissent différemment. On les classe d'après leur tenue au feu en argiles réfractaires et en argiles fusibles. Une argile est dite réfractaire quand elle ne s'affaisse pas à la montre n° 26 de Seger, soit environ 1 580 °C. La qualité d'une argile réfractaire est due à sa haute teneur en alumine et à sa faible teneur en oxydes métalliques, fer, calcium et surtout en alcalis. Elle est utilisée dans la fabrication des matériaux devant résister à une haute température : briques de four, cazettes, creusets, isolants électriques, etc. 4, record 1, French, - argile%20r%C3%A9fractaire

Considerando su cochura se clasifican en arcillas refractarias o infusibles y arcillas vitrificables o fusibles. Las verdaderas arcillas refractarias contienen pocos óxidos metálicos y álcalis, y pueden resistir a temperaturas elevadas sin desagregarse, por cuya razón se usan en la construcción de hornos, crisoles, estufas y obras similares. El grupo de las arcillas infusibles comprende, además, las que se usan para fabricar loza fina y los caolines. 2, record 1, Spanish, - arcilla%20refractaria
