In high-temperature industrial environments—such as in non-ferrous metallurgy, blast furnaces, and ceramic kilns—material performance directly impacts efficiency, safety, and operational costs. Among the many refractory solutions available today, silicon nitride-bonded silicon carbide (Si3N4-bonded SiC) brick stands out due to its superior thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and resistance to thermal shock and chemical erosion.
| Property | Si3N4-Bonded SiC Brick | Traditional Fireclay Brick |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Conductivity (W/m·K) | 58–72 | 12–18 |
| Flexural Strength at 1400°C (MPa) | 45–55 | 15–20 |
| Thermal Shock Resistance (1100°C → Water) | ≥50 cycles | ≤10 cycles |
| Anti-Erosion Performance (Slag Exposure Test) | Minimal weight loss (<1%) | Significant degradation (>10%) |
These numbers aren’t just impressive—they translate into real-world benefits. For example, a leading European aluminum smelter reported a 12% reduction in energy consumption after switching to Si3N4-bonded SiC bricks in their anode baking chambers. Similarly, Chinese copper refineries using this material have seen a 30% increase in lining lifespan compared to conventional materials.
Our products are already serving over 15 major industrial clients worldwide—including Tier-1 manufacturers in Germany, the U.S., and China—with more than 80% of our production exported to Europe and North America. This isn't just volume—it's validation. Companies like ThyssenKrupp, Rio Tinto, and Shandong Non-Ferrous Metals rely on us not only for consistent quality but also for technical support tailored to their specific process conditions.
Whether it’s lining a high-temperature zone in a continuous casting machine or building durable kiln furniture for advanced ceramics, the performance consistency of Si3N4-bonded SiC brick makes it ideal for applications where failure is not an option.
