Tips for Choosing Refractory Bricks

Image
  In an intense industrial manufacturing process, where temperatures soar beyond 1,000 degrees Celsius, ordinary construction materials are inadequate, making the use of the right refractory materials critical for operational success. Refractory bricks are a type of refractory material that forms a protective lining in furnaces, kilns, boilers, and reactors, shielding the structure from high heat, chemical, slag, and mechanical stress. Made from oxides like alumina, silica, magnesia and zirconia, they prevent heat loss, resist corrosion and maintain the structural integrity of the materials. Key Aspects to Consider When Buying Refractory Bricks Firing Temperature Every industrial process operates within a specific temperature range. Understanding the maximum operating temperature of your process will help you know which bricks you must choose to ensure consistent performance and safety. For instance, high alumina bricks are suitable for application in steel and glass furnaces wher...
