What is high alumina refractory?

What is high alumina refractory?

Answer:

It refers to inorganic non-metallic material with refractoriness of higher than 1580℃. Refractoriness refers to the celsius temperature that the cone-shaped refractory sample without load can resist, and under which the sample won't soften and melt down. Refractory material appears together with high temperature technology, and roughly dates from the Middle Bronze age. In the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25~AD220) of China, fireclay refractories has been used as furnace refractories and saggers for making porcelains. In the early 20th century, refractory material develops toward the direction of high purity, high dense and ultra high temperature products, and meanwhile unshaped refractory and refractory fiber with no need of firing at all and with low energy consumption appear.
High alumina refractory: High alumina refractory products, with high refractoriness, compressive strength and refractoriness under load, it is used for masonry of a variety of large-scale blast furnaces such as steel furnace, air heating furnace and electric furnace, and for high-temperature parts of thermal equipment like rotary?kilns.
