Low Cement, Ultra-Low Cement, and Cement-Free Castables

Our Blog
In the early 1970s, Lafarge in France successfully developed low cement castables, followed by the development of ultra-low cement castables, which gained global application in the 1980s. In China, there is no unified standard for categorizing these castables. According to ASTM standards in the United States, they are defined based on the CaO content in the product. Unlike conventional refractory castables, low cement and ultra-low cement castables partially or largely replace calcium aluminate cement with ultrafine powders of the same…

Phosphate, Aluminate, And Water Glass Bonded Castables

Our Blog
Phosphate-Bonded Refractory Castables The composition of phosphate-bonded refractory castables is similar to that of general castables. Aggregates and powders include high-alumina, clay, silica, and magnesia. Phosphates such as aluminum phosphate and phosphoric acid react slowly with neutral and acidic aggregates and powders at room temperature. To enable hardening at room temperature, hardeners like active aluminum hydroxide, talc, ammonium fluoride, magnesium oxide, alkaline aluminum chloride, and calcium aluminate cement are added. Magnesium oxide is particularly effective as a hardener, but the…

Classification of Refractory Properties And Their Application Fields

Our Blog
Detailed Analysis of the Classification of Refractory Properties and Their Application Fields 1. Detailed Classification of Properties 1.1 Chemical Composition and Mineral Composition Silica Refractories: Primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), silica refractories have excellent acid slag resistance and are commonly used in blast furnaces, hot blast stoves, and coke ovens. Aluminosilicate Refractories: Composed of alumina (Al₂O₃) and silicon dioxide, these refractories offer good heat resistance and thermal shock stability, making them widely used in high-temperature equipment such as blast…

Selection of Refractory Materials For Different Types of Boilers

Our Blog
The primary purpose of using wear-resistant refractory materials as linings in circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers is to protect the steel shell of the furnace from erosion and abrasion caused by the combustion materials. The most commonly used linings in boilers are monolithic refractories, including wear-resistant castables, plastic refractories, low-cement castables, corundum castables, steel fiber reinforced castables, and lightweight insulating castables. A typical power generation boiler consists of the combustion chamber, water-cooled walls, superheater, economizer, air preheater, and steam drum.…

High Temperature Energy Saving Solution Recommended — Refractory Insulating Lining For Heating Furnace

Our Blog
Heating Furnace Refractory Insulating Lining — Ceramic Fiber Board Product Overview The refractory insulating lining for heating furnaces plays a critical role in furnace construction, alongside refractory bricks. One of the most commonly used materials for this lining is aluminum silicate ceramic fiber board with a typical thickness of 10–50 mm. According to the form of lining materials, furnace linings are classified into brick linings, fiber linings, and monolithic linings. A typical lining structure includes both refractory bricks and insulating…

Measures to Improve the Melting Capacity of Float Glass Furnaces

Measures to Improve the Melting Capacity of Float Glass Furnaces

Our Blog
Based on the operating experience of domestic and international float glass furnaces, the main measures to enhance the melting capacity of float glass furnaces can be summarized as follows: optimizing furnace dimensions, utilizing high-calorific-value fuels and efficient burners, upgrading refractory materials, implementing full furnace-width batch charging, extending the fusion zone, increasing flame coverage, increasing the number of burners, raising melting temperatures, and adopting electric boosting. 01 Optimized Furnace Dimensions The furnace dimensions must match the desired melting capacity, particularly the…
