  • Alumina Bubble Brick

    To make alumina bubble insulating bricks, different diameters of alumina bubbles are proportionally blended, then the proper ratio of binders, such as phosphate or aluminum phosphate are added into the raw material, after mixing, pre-sintered fine powders are added into the raw material, and mixed together, so the binders and fine powders can even be distributed on the surface of alumina bubbles. Through vibration molding and drying, the green alumina bubble bricks are sintered at a 1500℃ high temperature. Because the large diameter bubbles have lower mechanical strength, they are easy to crack during molding, the max. the diameter should not exceed 5mm. But small diameter bubbles and fine powders proportion should not too high, too, because the bulk density and thermal conductivity will significantly increase. Sintering temperature also has a great influence on alumina bubble bricks, with the increase of sintering temperature, the sintering degree is increased, and thermal conductivity increases accordingly.

    By mineral composition and structure, alumina bubble bricks are divided into pure alumina bubble insulating bricks, mullite bonded alumina bubble bricks, Sialon bonded alumina bubble bricks, and so on. For mullite bonded alumina bubble insulating bricks, some ratio of SiO2 powder is added into powder material, during sintering, some quantity of mullite is formed in the matrix to replace the corundum phase, so the thermal shock resistance of alumina bubble insulating bricks is improved.

    During the high-temperature nitridation sintering of Sialon bonded alumina bubble bricks, the matrix has a nitridation reaction and forms Sialoon bonded matrix phase. Sialon bonded alumina bubble bricks have high mechanical strength, good thermal shock resistance, strong corrosion-resistance, and so on.

    Aluminum Magnesia Carbon Brick Application

    1.Aluminum magnesium carbon brick is mainly used for ladle lining.
    2.Aluminum magnesium carbon brick tapping trough, large converter, and ultra-high power electric furnace ladle lining and refining furnace lining.

    Aluminum Magnesia Carbon Brick Properties

    Aluminum magnesium carbon brick refractories are developed on the basis of high-performance magnesium carbon and aluminum carbon refractories. Aluminum magnesium carbon fire bricks are substitutes for high alumina bricks and dolomite brick linings, but in contrast, such alkalis aluminum-magnesium carbon brick composed of two refractory oxides of acidity and acidity has excellent chemical and thermodynamic stability, high-density aluminum magnesia bricks have excellent thermal and mechanical properties.

    1.High Resistance to Molten Steel Penetration
    Due to the expansion of the spinel-penetration reaction between alumina and magnesia during use, an integral refractory lining can be formed, which can effectively prevent the penetration of molten steel from the joint between the lining bricks into the interior of the brick.

    2.Excellent Slag Resistance
    In addition to the role of graphite, the spinel formed during use can absorb Feo in the slag to form a solid solution, while Al2o3 reacts with Cao in the slag to form a high-melting Cao-Al2o3 compound, refractory blocks the pores and increases melting. Body viscosity, can de to achieve the purpose of inhibiting slag penetration

    3.High Mechanical Strength
    Aluminum carbon magnesium refractories contain less graphite, generally, between 6% and 12%, so high alumina magnesia carbon refractory bricks have large bulk density, low porosity, and high strength.

    Aluminum Magnesia Carbon Brick Improve the Slag Resistance Measures

    Under certain conditions of ladle operation, the slag permeation rate depends on the porosity of the lining brick and the viscosity of the slag wet slag. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the low slag content of the brick by controlling the graphite content and dispersion in the brick. Wetting, thereby inhibiting the penetration of slag, and at the same time, by increasing the Al2o3 content in the brick, reacting with CaO in the slag to form a high melting point aluminum-calcium series compound, blocking the pores and increasing the melt viscosity, so as to inhibit the slag penetration and finally improve Performance of aluminum-magnesium carbon brick.

  • Silicon Carbide Bricks

    Silicon Carbide Bricks Classification

    Silicon carbide bricks can be divided into different categories based on SiC content, binder types and quantity. According to binder types, SiC bricks can be divided into:
    Oxide bonded SiC bricks. The bonding phase is Al2O3-SiO2 series silicate, including clay bonded silicon carbide bricks, mullite bonded silicon carbide bricks and silica bonded SiC bricks.

Normally, SiC products with less than 50% SiC are called semi SiC refractory, including clinker SiC refractory, high alumina SiC refractory, zircon SiC refractory, mullite SiC refractory and Corundum SiC refractory, etc.

    Oxide Bonded Silicon Carbide Bricks

    The mineral phases of oxide bonded silicon carbide bricks are quartz, mullite and silicate glass phase. Based on the difference of bonding phases, oxide bonded SiC bricks can be divided into SiO2 bonded SiC bricks, mullite bonded SiC bricks and clay bonded SiC bricks.

    Clay bonded silicon carbide bricks contain 50%~90% SiC, binding material is binding clay, usually added in sillimanite, andalusite, kyanite and other mineral fine powder. The sintering temperature is between 1350~1450℃. The quantity and types of binding material can directly affect the performance of clay bonded SiC bricks. With the increase of clay content, oxidization resistance is improved, but thermal conductivity, refractoriness under load temperature, thermal shock resistance and high temperature strength will all decrease.
    Clay bonded SiC refractory are mainly used as muffle boards of various kinds of industrial kilns and furnaces, ceramic kiln furniture ( refractory slab, sagger and so on). But due to the clay bonding phase in SiC refractory, Clay bonded SiC refractory high temperature performance is greatly affected.

    Mullite bonded silicon carbide bricks are developed on basis of clay bonded SiC refractory. The bonding raw material are high purity Al2O3 and SiO2 micro powder or fine powder, sometimes sillimanite, andalusite and kyanite fine powders are also added. The bonging phase are mainly mullite, with low glass phase. In mullite bonded SiC bricks, SiC content is between 65%~85%, sintering temperature is between 1350~1500℃. Mullite bonded SiC bricks have significantly better high temperature performance than clay bonded SiC bricks. Mullite bonded SiC bricks are widely used in ceramic industry, nonferrous metals industry, machinery industry and so on.

    Silica Bonded Silicon Carbide Bricks

    SiO2 bonded SiC bricks has far better high temperature performance than clay bonded SiC refractory, high temperature modulus of rupture is higher than mullite bonded SiC refractory. Silica bonded SiC bricks are mainly used as kiln furniture.
