Korkealämpötilainen

korkealämpötilainen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "high-temperature" in English. It is used to describe conditions, materials, or processes that involve elevated temperatures.

The term can be applied in various contexts. For instance, it might describe a "korkealämpötilainen uuni" (high-temperature oven) used in industrial processes like ceramics firing or metal heat treatment. It can also refer to "korkealämpötilainen materiaali" (high-temperature material), such as ceramics or specialized alloys designed to withstand extreme heat without degrading. In meteorology, "korkealämpötilainen sää" could describe weather conditions with unusually high temperatures.

The concept of high temperatures is relative and depends on the specific field of application. What is considered high temperature in one context might be moderate in another. For example, in everyday life, temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius might be considered high, while in material science, high temperatures can range from several hundred to thousands of degrees Celsius.

The study of phenomena occurring at high temperatures is a significant area of scientific and engineering research, focusing on material properties, chemical reactions, and energy transfer under these conditions.
