Question:

How much is the highest melting point of silicon?

How much is the highest melting point of silicon?

Answer:

. True density 2.35g/cm3. With acid resistance, slag erosion performance. Higher high temperature strength. The softening start temperature is 1620~1670 degrees. Long term use at high temperature without deformation. The thermal shock resistance is low (the heat exchange in water is 1~4 times). The natural silica is used as the raw material, and a proper amount of mineralizer is used to promote the transformation of quartz into quartz in the body. Slowly sintered at 1350~1430 DEG C in the reducing atmosphere. The total volume of heating to 1450 DEG about 1.5~2.2% expansion, the residual expansion will make cutting seam sealing, ensure masonry tightness and good structure strength, so that the brick load softening temperature will reach 1750 degrees Celsius above 1620 degrees in the case of the highest melting point.
Acidic silica brick refractories, softening temperature is as high as 1640 to 1670 DEG C, in the long-term use volume is relatively stable under high temperature. More than 94% silica content.
Mainly used for partition, carbonization chamber of coke oven and combustion chamber open hearth furnace regenerator and a sediment chamber, soaking furnace, glass melting furnace refractories and ceramic kiln, kiln vault and other load-bearing parts. Also used for high temperature bearing part of hot blast stove and acid open hearth furnace
