What should be used as binder for making high alumina bricks?
Bond for making high alumina brick: soft clay has good plasticity, so the high alumina brick is usually made of soft clay as bond. However, the free Al2O3 free SiO2 and bauxite clinker clay in under 1200 degrees occurred two times of Mullization reaction, generate large volume expansion, silicon porosity, strength reduction. Therefore, the amount of clay powder in the ingredient should be no more than 5%.
In addition, high alumina micro powder can be used as binding agent, or high alumina micro powder and clay powder are prepared according to a certain proportion, and synthetic mullite is used as bonding agent. With these binders, high alumina bricks without two expansion can be prepared.
