Which material is good for furnace refractory?

Which material is good for furnace refractory?

Answer:

Acid refractory with silicon oxide as the main component, are commonly used in brick and clay brick. Silica is silica containing more than 94% silica products, raw materials used in silica, silica and other waste, the acid resistance of slag erosion ability, high load softening temperature, volume shrinkage after repeated burning, or even a slight expansion; but it is vulnerable to the erosion of basic slag, thermal shock resistance is poor. The brick is mainly used for thermal equipment of glass furnace, coke oven, acid furnace etc.. Clay brick with refractory clay as the main raw material, containing 30% to 46% of alumina, weak acid refractory material, heat shock resistance, resistance to acid slag, widely used.
Basic refractories in Magnesium Oxide and calcium oxide as the main ingredient, commonly used is brick. Magnesium Oxide 80% to more than 85% containing magnesia brick, has good resistance to alkaline slag and slag, refractory clay brick and brick high ratio. Mainly used in open hearth furnace, oxygen converter, electric furnace, non-ferrous metal smelting equipment and high temperature equipment.
Neutral refractory is mainly composed of alumina, chromium oxide or carbon. Corundum products containing more than 95% of alumina are a kind of high quality refractory materials with a wide range of uses. Chrome brick with chromium oxide as its main component has good corrosion resistance, but its thermal shock resistance is poor, and its deformation temperature is lower at high temperature. Carbon refractories with carbon bricks, graphite and silicon carbide products, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, good thermal shock resistance, high strength, resistance to acid and salt corrosion, especially weak acid has good resistance, without wetting of the metal and slag, light. It is widely used as lining material of high temperature, and also used as lining of autoclave in petroleum and chemical industry.
Kiln types of refractories is very extensive, selection of refractory materials according to the type of furnace furnace temperature and use of selected refractory material, refractory material is divided into custom products of refractory bricks and unshaped refractory castable series products. According to chemistry, it is divided into acidic, neutral and alkaline materials.
