Refractory materials are an indispensable component of industrial high-temperature furnaces and kilns. They are able to withstand extreme temperatures and chemical erosion. This article will focus on two types of refractories: Magnesia Chrome Brick and Semi-rebonded Magnesia Chrome Brick.
1. Composition and production process:
Magnesia Chrome Brick
Main ingredients: magnesia (MgO) and chromium ore (Cr2O3), chromium ore content 5%-30%.
Production process: dry pressing or wet pressing molding, high temperature sintering.
Semi-rebonded Magnesia Chrome Brick
Additional ingredients: binders such as cement to enhance physical properties.
Production process: In addition to sintering, strength and stability are also improved through chemical bonding.
2. Performance comparison:
Magnesia Chrome Brick
Advantages: high refractoriness, good slag resistance and corrosion resistance.
Limitations: thermal stability and thermal shock resistance may be poor.
Semi-rebonded Magnesia Chrome Brick
Advantages: better thermal stability and thermal shock resistance.
Limitations: corrosion resistance and slag resistance may be slightly lower.
3. Application areas:
Magnesium-chrome bricks: suitable for high temperature environments such as steel smelting and non-ferrous metal smelting.
Semi-recombined magnesia-chrome bricks: suitable for furnace environments that withstand large temperature fluctuations.
Cost and life
Cost and life are affected by production processes and raw materials. Semi-recombined magnesia-chrome bricks may cost slightly more, but have better durability.
Selection Guide
When selecting refractory materials, the specific environment, temperature and chemical corrosion of industrial furnaces need to be considered.
