The Importance of Intermittent Strength of Refractory Castables

The intermediate-temperature strength of refractory castables refers to the strength at approximately 800℃-1000℃. For most castable series, the intermediate-temperature strength at 800℃ is the most problematic, as this is when the bond strength of the refractory castable is weakest. The Read More …

Preparation Method of Acid-Resistant Refractory Castable

The general composition of acid-resistant refractory castables is as follows: 60%-70% acid-resistant refractory aggregate, 30%-40% powder, and 13%-16% water glass solution with a density of 1.38-1.42 g/cm3. When sodium fluorosilicate is used as a hardening accelerator, its addition amount is Read More …

Requirements for High-Chromium Bricks in Coal-Water Slurry Gasification Furnaces

To address the problems of low coal utilization and severe environmental pollution, pressurized coal-water slurry gasification, as a crucial technology for the clean and efficient utilization of coal, has experienced rapid development. Hundreds of units, including the Texaco coal-water slurry Read More …

Magnesia-Iron-Alumina Composite Spinel Bricks — Chrome-Free Refractories for Cement Kiln Burning Zones

Pollution within the cement industry caused by refractory materials is primarily attributed to chromium-bearing refractories. The main pathways for this contamination are twofold: First, during the calcination of cement clinker, the presence of an oxidizing atmosphere and alkaline oxides—combined with Read More …

Advantages of the Physicochemical Properties of Thermal-Insulating Silicon-Corundum Bricks

Silicon-corundum bricks are developed based on the phosphate-bonded brick series; they are manufactured by utilizing higher-quality bauxite with an increased alumina content, incorporating a specific proportion of silicon carbide, and undergoing processes of batch aging, high-pressure molding, and sintering at Read More …

The Influence and Role of Andalusite in Cement Kiln Mouth Refractory Spraying Mixes

At the front kiln mouth of a rotary kiln, the temperature of the discharged clinker reaches approximately 1100°C, while the temperature of the tertiary air entering the kiln fluctuates frequently in response to changing kiln conditions. As the scale of Read More …

Application of β-SiAlON-Bonded Alumina Bubble Bricks in Nitriding Furnaces

To extend the service life of nitriding furnaces, thermal insulation products based on alumina hollow spheres—featuring a bonding phase of approximately 30 wt% β-SiAlON—were fabricated using alumina hollow spheres, Si powder, Al powder, and fine and ultrafine Al₂O₃ powders as Read More …
