Low Creep High Alumina Brick Properties

In the development of low creep high alumina bricks, a certain amount of quartz particles are generally added. There are different views on the action and effect of quartz particles. It is generally believed that the effect of adding quartz has two main aspects, namely, increasing the viscosity of the high temperature liquid phase and utilizing the expansion effect and the expansion stress effect produced by the unbalanced reaction to improve the load resistance.

The addition of quartz particles to the low creep  high alumina brick can increase the SiO2 content in the liquid phase, increase the degree of crosslinking of the silicon oxytetrahedron in the liquid phase, and increase the viscosity. At the same time, due to the presence of part of Al2O3 in the matrix, it has strong diffusion ability at high temperature, and Al3+ diffuses into the quartz particles to form an aluminosilicate layer with cristobalite as the core. Al2O3 reacts with SiO2 to form mullite, and this reaction produces an appropriate amount of expansion to increase its creep resistance.

A thin layer composed of mullite crystal phase and amorphous phase or microcrystalline phase exists along the center of the cristobalite grain to the edge of the cristobalite grain, and the content of SiO2 gradually decreases. However, the Molybdenum reaction is far from reaching equilibrium. With the extension of time, the thickness of the reaction layer is increasing, and the reaction rate is slowed down, which can ensure that this non equilibrium reaction lasts for a long time.

It is generally believed that quartz is preferably added in the form of medium particles and requires a certain particle size interval, such as. The amount of quartz added is related to the amount of corundum. When all the fine powders are corundum, the amount of quartz added is preferably left and right. Since the reaction process of corundum fine powder and quartz particles is slow, there is still residual quartz and corundum after the green body is fired. The high alumina brick will continue to react with quartz and corundum to form mullite during high temperature use. Along with volume expansion, this expansion can just offset or partially offset the shrinkage generated during high temperature use, making the hot blast furnace with low creep high alumina bricks with excellent creep resistance.

Alumina magnesia spinel ladle castable

The ladle is a container of molten steel. The commonly used refractory materials are alumina magnesia spinel ladle castable, magnesia alumina spinel brick, ladle lining brick, etc. Use of alumina magnesia spinel can provide flaking resistance of refractory materials.

 Alumina magnesia spinel castable is also called corundum or high alumina magnesia spinel refractory castable, also called composite alumina magnesia spinel refractory castable. It has excellent functions and is used in large and medium sized ladle.

Magnesia alumina spinel has excellent corrosion resistance, strong corrosion resistance, good slag resistance, anti abrasive ability, good thermal shock resistance and high temperature resistance. It is the ambition material for the high temperature belt of cement rotary kiln with magnesia alumina spinel brick, ladle lining refractory brick, ladle castable and other refractory products. Magnesia alumina spinel is widely used in refractory materials, steel exercise, cement rotary kiln and glass industrial furnaces.

1. Aluminium-magnesium spinel ladle castable is a kind of special grade bauxite, corundum, high-purity spinel as the main material, and participates in the mixing of appropriate additives and dispersants. High density and durability;

2. Ladle castables should be stored in warehouses with rainproof equipment and monotonous ventilation according to the varieties and trademarks. Beware of moisture, prevent prolonged agglomeration, chemical bond failure, and affect the application effect.

3. In the case of better storage conditions, the shelf life is half a year. After half a year, the physical and chemical function indicators need to be checked. Once the requirements are met, they can be used as usual.
