The majority of refractory materials and raw minerals used for their production are crystalline substances. X-ray diffraction techniques can be used successfully for qualitative and quantitative determination of their mineral composition and for analysis of the technologically significant structural features that are most important in a production process. Examples are considered for the main types of refractory materials and are studied with the full-profile Rietveld refinement method in order to reveal control parameters during their production. It is concluded that structural properties of mineral phases should be taken into account that have a considerable effect on refractory material mechanical properties.

大多数用于生产的耐火材料和原料矿物是结晶物质。X 射线衍射技术可成功用于定性和定量测定其矿物成分，以及分析生产过程中最重要的技术上重要的结构特征。考虑了主要耐火材料类型的示例，并使用全剖面 Rietveld 细化方法进行研究，以揭示其生产过程中的控制参数。得出的结论是，应考虑矿物相的结构特性，这对耐火材料的机械性能有相当大的影响。
