What are the materials of white firebricks?

Answer:

The commonly-used firebricks include alumina bricks, corundum bricks, chamotte bricks, high alumina bricks, diatomite bricks, zircon bricks, lightweight corundum bricks, zirconia bubble bricks and so on ~~~
White refractory materials are generally divided into two types, namely, unshaped refractory materials and shaped refractory materials. Unshaped refractory materials, also called castables, is a mix of powdery particles of many aggregates and one or multiple adhesives. They must be stirred well with one or multiple liquids when in use, which has a strong liquidity. Unshaped refractory materials generally refers to firebricks. They have standard rules about their shapes and can also be processed temporarily as needed.
They are made of baked refractory materials with pale yellow and a little brown on the surface and very cheap. They are mainly used to pile up smelting furnace and can withstand high temperature from 580 degrees Celsius to 770 degrees Celsius. While the firebricks, also called refractory bricks by others, have a certain size and shape. They can be classified according to manufacturing process, namely, the unburned bricks, burnt bricks and electrically fused bricks. Also they can be divided into common bricks, standard bricks and specific bricks according to different size and shape.
