Question:

How to identify the fused magnesia brick and sintered magnesia brick?

How do you differentiate between the two clearly? Where is the key? Thank you

Answer:

Magnesia brick have high refractoriness, alkali slag good performance, high load softening temperature, but poor thermal shock resistance. The sintering magnesia brick brick magnesite as raw material, crushing, proportioning, mixing, forming, in 1550 ~ 1600 degrees firing, high purity products firing temperature is over 1750 DEG C. Don't add chemical bond magnesia brick is appropriate in magnesia, through mixing, molding and drying.
Magnesia brick (magnesite brick) basic refractories Magnesium Oxide content of more than 90%, with the main crystalline phase of periclaseGeneral can be divided into sintered magnesia brick (also called burnt magnesia brick) and chemically bonded magnesia brick (also known as the two major categories of not burned magnesia brick). Purity and high firing temperature of magnesia, due to the direct contact of periclase grains, known as direct bonded magnesite brick; made of fused magnesia bricks called electrically fused magnesite brick.
Burnt magnesia brick is made of high quality sintered magnesia as main raw materials, paper pulp as binder. After mixing and high pressure molding, it is fired in a high temperature tunnel kiln over 1550 degrees celsius. It has good thermal stability, corrosion resistance and spalling resistance. Widely used in converter, arc furnace and other industrial furnace lining refractory.Fused magnesia brick brick has compact structure, high mechanical strength, low impurity content, mainly used for the storage of large glass kiln
