Application of Magnesia-Carbon Bricks in the Steel Metallurgy Industry

Application of Magnesia-Carbon Bricks in the Steel Metallurgy Industry

Our Blog
Magnesia-Carbon bricks are highly suitable for the requirements of steel metallurgy due to their superior high-temperature resistance, resistance to slag erosion, and excellent thermal shock stability. Leveraging the high refractory properties, excellent slag resistance, and solubility resistance of carbon materials and the low creep at high temperatures of magnesia, these bricks find applications in severely eroded slag lines and steel teeming nozzles. Thus far, the extensive use of magnesia-carbon bricks in the steelmaking process, coupled with process improvements in iron…

The Main Function of The Heating Furnace Lining Refractory Material

Our Blog
The main function of the heating furnace is to heat the billets (small square billets, large square billets, slab billets, steel ingots) to 1000-1250℃ (rolling temperature) until they have sufficient plasticity to be rolled into the required section, size, or shape through a hot rolling mill. The required rolling temperature varies depending on the material's chemical composition and grade. Based on the metallurgical properties of the raw materials and productivity, the heating furnace's heating rate must also meet specific requirements…

What Are The Requirements For Special-shaped Refractory Bricks

What Are The Requirements For Special-shaped Refractory Bricks

Our Blog
High refractoriness: The heating temperatures in modern metallurgical and industrial kilns typically range from 1000 to 1800°C. Shaped refractory bricks should have the ability to resist dissolution under these harsh conditions. Thermal structural strength: Shaped refractory bricks should not only have a high dissolution temperature but also maintain their shape and resist softening deformation and collapse when subjected to the load of furnace walls or other mechanical stresses. Thermal stability: Due to temperature fluctuations during the operation of metallurgical and…

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…
