Theoretical Basis of Si-O Refractories – Silica Bricks

Refractory bricks made from natural silica-containing rocks, primarily quartz, are called silica refractory bricks. Rongsheng Silica bricks contain at least 93% SiO2 and no more than 1.5% Al2O3, as even a small amount of alumina significantly reduces refractoriness. A key aspect of silica brick manufacturing is the rate of conversion between different silica variants. Get … Read more

Performance Comparison of High Alumina Bricks and Anti-Stripping High Alumina Bricks

High-alumina bricks can be compared with anti-spalling high-alumina bricks in terms of raw materials and processes, performance characteristics, application fields, and costs. Raw Materials and Process Proportions Both high-alumina bricks and anti-stripping high-alumina bricks primarily use high-alumina bauxite as their raw material. However, anti-spassing high-alumina bricks incorporate zircon during the production process. This addition significantly … Read more

Refractory Material Configuration for Ferroalloy Electric Furnaces

The refractory material for ferroalloy electric furnaces comprises three parts: furnace roof refractory material, furnace wall refractory material, and molten pool refractory material (furnace slope and furnace bottom). During ferroalloy smelting, the refractory materials in these different parts are under different working conditions. To ensure the normal operation of the electric furnace, refractory materials with … Read more

Hardening Mechanism and Proper Storage of Phosphate Refractory Castables

Phosphoric acid hardly reacts with acidic oxides at room temperature and does not harden; therefore, it is not suitable as a binder for acidic refractories. Phosphoric acid reacts with amphoteric oxides (such as Al2O3) at room temperature to form a hard solid, and the reaction rate between them can be controlled, making it particularly suitable … Read more

Improved Performance of New Corundum Self-Flowing Ladle Castable

With the advancement of ladle refining technology, melting temperatures and times have increased, making the operating environment of ladle refractories increasingly demanding. Corundum self-flowing castables are primarily used to fill gaps around air bricks and base bricks. During use, they are subject to mechanical erosion from molten steel tapping and argon-blowing stirring. Intermittent production also … Read more
