In high-temperature industries such as metallurgy and glass manufacturing, furnace bricks face numerous challenges. Erosion from molten slag and thermal shock damage are common pain points that significantly reduce the lifespan of furnace kilns, leading to increased maintenance costs and production interruptions. This article delves into the application of ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks in high-temperature industries, aiming to provide solutions to these problems.
Ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks possess several core characteristics that effectively address the challenges in high-temperature industries:
With a compressive strength of up to 50 MPa, ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks can withstand the high pressure generated during the operation of furnace kilns, ensuring the structural integrity of the kiln lining and preventing collapse and damage.
According to experimental data, the slag penetration depth of ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks is only 10 - 15 mm after 100 hours of continuous contact with molten slag at 1600°C, significantly lower than that of traditional magnesia bricks. This outstanding slag resistance effectively prevents the erosion of molten slag on the kiln lining, thereby extending the service life of the furnace kiln.
Ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks can withstand 30 - 50 thermal shock cycles at a temperature difference of 1000°C without significant cracking or spalling, ensuring stable performance in environments with frequent temperature changes and reducing the risk of damage caused by thermal shock.
Ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks have wide applications in various high-temperature industries:
To better understand the advantages of ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks, a performance comparison with traditional magnesia bricks is presented below:
| Performance Index | Ordinary Magnesia-Chrome Bricks | Traditional Magnesia Bricks |
|---|---|---|
| Compressive Strength (MPa) | 50 | 30 |
| Slag Penetration Depth (mm) | 10 - 15 | 20 - 30 |
| Thermal Shock Cycles | 30 - 50 | 10 - 20 |
A metallurgical enterprise replaced the traditional magnesia bricks in its electric arc furnace with ordinary magnesia-chrome bricks. After six months of operation, the service life of the furnace lining was extended by 40%, and the maintenance cost was reduced by 30%. At the same time, the stability of the production process was significantly improved, and the product quality was also enhanced.
