Clay Bonded Silicon Carbide Brick

Clay bonded silicon carbide brick is a refractory brick fired with silicon carbide and binder clay. Silicon carbide brick is one of the earliest developed silicon carbide brick with the characteristics of thermal conductivity, small thermal expansion coefficient, good thermal shock resistance and good wear resistance.

Clay bonded silicon carbide brick choose black SiC as the main raw material and the soft clay as binder. The chemical composition is 98% SiC, 0.5% free carbon, 0.2% Fe, 0.6% SiO2 and the binder. The proportion of clay binder used in the past is relatively large, generally 10% to 15%, but now use 3% of clay and 5% of sulfite lye. The thermal conductivity of silicon carbide brick with less clay content is 3~4 times higher than that of multi clay bonded silicon carbide brick, and the softening temperature and slag resistance of the SiC brick are also higher.

In the manufacturing process of 3% clay bonded silicon carbide brick, the coarse, medium and fine SiC is prepared according to the grain gradation which can obtain the maximum bulk density. First dry and mix evenly, then add clay, dry mixed 3min, add pulp waste liquid (density 1.26 ~ 1.289/cm3) 4%, mixing. The moisture content of the slurry is about 1.5%. After the material is trapped 12h, the slurry passes through the 4mm screen and is molded with a brick press. The volume density of the brick is 2.5 ~ 2.79/cm3. After drying for 2~4 days under natural drying conditions, the silicon carbide brick is fired in a tunnel kiln with a firing temperature of 1400 degrees Celsius.

The products are used as ceramic kiln furnaces (sheds, stents, saggers, etc.), muffle hood for muffle furnace, lining brick for aluminum refining furnace, distillation tank for zinc distilling furnace, cement rotary kiln cooler, etc.

Mullite Bonded Silicon Carbide Bricks

Mullite bonded silicon carbide brick is made of high purity raw materials, with industrial silicon carbide as the main raw material through in situ generation and crystalline transformation of mullite phase to play a binding role. Compared to clay bonded silicon carbide brick, the performance is better.

SiO₂ Bonded Silicon Carbide Bricks

SiO₂ bonded silicon carbide bricks are produced by adding a certain amount of quartz powder, which enhances the oxidation resistance by binding silicon carbide particles together with the help of silica film generated. The high-temperature performance is better than clay bonded silicon carbide brick, and the high temperature strength is higher compared to mullite bonded silicon carbide brick.
