Performance of Refractory Castables

Our Blog
The binder for mullite and refractory castables is a composite binder, mainly composed of α-Al2O3 and SiO2 fine powder, clay, and hydrated alumina. It is a combination of fine powders and hydrated alumina that bond at low temperatures. At medium to high temperatures, Al2O3 reacts with SiO2 to form mullite, creating a binding material, hence referred to as the binder for mullite and refractory castables. It is well known that using secondary mullite in amorphous refractories is a common technique…

Applications and Materials of Corundum Mullite Bricks

Our Blog
Corundum mullite bricks are refractory insulation materials that primarily consist of α-Al2O3 corundum as the main crystal phase. Due to their high heat resistance, strength, compressive strength, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, insulation properties, and good sealing, they have found increasing applications with the advancement of contemporary technology. Approximately 5% of alumina trihydrate (Al(OH)3) is used in the production of refractory insulation materials, while another 5% is utilized in wear-resistant materials, electronic devices, petroleum and chemical plants, ceramics, paper industry, and…

Refractory Brick Manufacturers Can Provide Refractory Bricks in Different Shapes

Our Blog
Refractory bricks are shaped refractory materials used in industrial kilns. The term originates from refractory materials with specific geometric shapes that often resemble bricks. Since nearly all industrial furnaces operate at high temperatures, refractory bricks must be able to withstand the corrosive effects of heat. That's why they are also referred to as refractory bricks. Refractory bricks are produced through special methods, and manufacturers can create them in any required geometric shape. The bonding between bricks and mortar is crucial,…

What kind of castable has a long service life for the kiln mouth of a rotary kiln?

What kind of castable has a long service life for the kiln mouth of a rotary kiln?

Our Blog
Several years ago, steel fiber corundum castable and high-alumina castable were used for the kiln mouth of the rotary kiln, but the results were not satisfactory. They were prone to cracking and had poor thermal shock resistance, resulting in a short service life and increased costs. Refractory castable is composed of aggregates, powders, binders, additives, water, and other liquid materials. Under high-temperature conditions, it exhibits good sintering performance, volume stability, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature mechanical properties. The refractory lining at…

Corundum bricks are refractory products mainly composed of corundum as the primary crystalline phase in the aluminum-silicon system. These bricks possess excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and good abrasion resistance. İşlenmemiş içerikler: Natural hydrated aluminum oxides, including boehmite and diaspore, can be dehydrated through heating to obtain aluminum oxide (γ-Al2O3). This is then further heated to 1450°C, transforming it into corundum (α-Al2O3). However, due to the limited natural reserves of natural corundum and pure boehmite, industrial alumina is predominantly…

Refractory Bricks for Cement Rotary Kilns

Our Blog
The dimensions of refractory bricks for cement rotary kilns are closely related to the lifespan of the kiln lining. The height (h) of refractory bricks for cement rotary kilns determines the thickness of the kiln lining. On one hand, the thickness of the kiln lining affects its weight, which in turn affects the deformation of the kiln body and the mechanical stress on the lining bricks. On the other hand, the thickness of the kiln lining also affects the surface…

The Concerns of Refractory Brick Buyers Beyond Price

Our Blog
When purchasing refractory bricks, some buyers often only consider the price of the bricks while neglecting their own usage requirements. This is a mistake because purchasing refractory bricks that do not meet their own requirements will only result in partial effectiveness. Generally, the following principles should be followed: Understanding the characteristics of the furnace or kiln Based on the structure of the furnace or kiln, including the working characteristics and operating conditions of each part, refractory bricks should be selected…
