1. Plural of pyroceram; heat-resistant glass-ceramic materials made by controlled crystallization of glass, used in cookware, laboratory equipment, and aerospace applications.
Usage: technical; materials science; often used as a trademark or brand name (Pyroceram®)

Examples

• Pyrocerams are commonly used in oven-safe baking dishes because they withstand high temperatures.
• The laboratory purchased several pyrocerams for use in high-heat experiments.
• Pyrocerams combine the workability of glass with the strength of ceramics.
• These pyrocerams can tolerate rapid temperature changes without cracking.
• Aerospace engineers rely on pyrocerams for thermal protection systems.
