I wanna ask that magnesium oxide is refractory?

I wanna ask that magnesium oxide is refractory?

Answer:

Magnesium oxide. magnesium oxide has high refractory insulation properties. After above 1000 ℃ high temperature burning, it can be transformed into crystals. And it can be transformed into dead-burned magnesium oxide or sintered magnesia oxide until rising to above 1500 ℃. It has heat-resistant, non-conductive at room temperature and relatively poor thermal conductivity. Magnesium oxide is mainly used for the preparation of ceramic, enamel, refractory crucible and refractory bricks. I hope to help you
Magnesium oxide is used in refractory material, because it has the following characteristics and properties: 1, high stability: Anti-oxidation, anti-reduction, thermal decomposition; 2, high melting point, 2800 degrees; 3, low prices. In particular, the stability and melting point is very good, I hope I can give you help.
Yes, Magnesia belongs to ionic crystals, the oin of magnesium has two charge, oxygen and magnesium ions are relatively small radius, these two factors make a lot of magnesium oxide lattice energy, high melting point is up to 2800 degrees Celsius. Because the magnesium oxide is stable and not react with water, it is widely used as a refractory material.
