Mullite Series Refractory Brick

In the field of refractory materials, refractory bricks with mullite phases can be called mullite refractory bricks. The following are several common mullite series refractory bricks. Rongsheng refractory material manufacturers can customize the index parameters and sizes of mullite refractory bricks for you according to the working conditions of high-temperature industrial furnaces.

1. Low creep mullite brick. Synthetic mullite clinker and super-high alumina bauxite clinker are used as raw materials. In addition, some high-purity quartz and additives can be added to produce low-creep mullite bricks.

Forming is carried out on a 300t friction brick press. The bulk density of the green body should be controlled above 2.70g/cm3. The green body is dried at 50~110°C for 16 hours. After drying, the residual moisture of the green body should be less than 0.5%. The highest firing temperature of the product is 1600°C, and the heat preservation time is 16h. The physical index of the product is as follows: the apparent porosity is 19~21%, the bulk density is 2.55~2.60g/cm3, and the compressive strength is 69~116MPa. 1450℃, 50h creep rate 0.12%.

2. Low creep sintered mullite brick. Sintered mullite bricks can be made by using andalusite as aggregate, sillimanite as intermediate particles, and common finely ground powder of sillimanite powder, bauxite powder, industrial alumina powder, and clay powder as base material.

The firing temperature is 1490°C and the heat preservation time is 19 hours. The porosity of the product can reach 17.15%. The bulk density is 2.53g/cm3, the compressive strength at room temperature is 136.5MPa, and the softening temperature under load is 1627°C. 1450℃, 50h creep rate can reach 0.87%. If the firing temperature is 1450°C and the holding time is extended to 26 hours, the purpose of sintering can also be achieved. However, the physical performance index is lower than that of the product fired at 1490°C. For example, at 1450°C, the 50h creep rate is 0.98%.

3. Sintered mullite bricks. The sintering temperature of sintered mullite bricks is usually above 1600°C. Such a high sintering temperature makes sintered mullite bricks difficult to mass-produce. Utilizing the activity of active SiO2, adding an appropriate amount of active SiO2 into the ingredients can make the sintered mullite bricks sintered at 1550 °C.

The physical indicators of this sintered mullite brick are as follows: the apparent porosity is 20.88%, and the bulk density is 2.61g/cm³. The compressive strength at room temperature is 84.4MPa. 1550℃, 50h high temperature creep rate 0.796%.

4. Mullite corundum brick. Using mullite and fused white corundum as raw materials and Suzhou soil as a binder, mullite corundum bricks for electric furnace roofs can be manufactured.

The green body is formed by a 300t friction brick press, and the density of the green body is 2.70g/cm3. The body is dried in a tunnel dryer. The inlet temperature is 40~50°C, the maximum drying temperature is 130°C, the drying time is 48h, and the moisture content of the green body is not more than 1.5%. The products are fired in a tunnel kiln at a firing temperature of 1550°C and a holding time of 10 hours.

The physical and chemical indicators of the product are as follows: Al₂O₃ 73.06%, SiO₂ 24.10%, apparent porosity 19.9%. The bulk density is 2.55g/cm3, and the compressive strength at room temperature is 81.7MPa. 1550℃, 3h re-burning line change rate -0.11%. The load softening start temperature is 1710°C.

5. Mullite-sillimanite bricks. Using andalusite as aggregate, sillimanite, high alumina bauxite, bonded clay as fine powder, and sulfurous acid pulp waste liquid as binder, mullite-sillimanite ceramic kiln furniture can be manufactured.

The physical and chemical indicators of the product are as follows: Al₂O₃ 51.9%, SiO₂ 43.9%, apparent porosity 23%. The bulk density is 2.27g/cm³, the compressive strength is 38.2MPa, and the softening temperature under load is 1520°C. Thermal shock stability (1100°C, water cooling)>20 times.
