Magnesia-alumina-iron spinel bricks are a high-quality refractory material widely used in high-temperature industrial kilns such as cement kilns. The following is a detailed analysis of the characteristics and performance of magnesia-alumina-iron spinel bricks:
Features
1. High-quality raw materials: Magnesia-alumina-iron spinel bricks are made of high-purity magnesia sand, fused magnesia sand and iron-alumina spinel as the main raw materials, and are prepared by adding free Al2O3 and Fe2O3. The physical and chemical performance indicators of these raw materials are excellent, which provides a solid foundation for the high performance of magnesia-alumina-iron spinel bricks.
2. Special process: In the production process of magnesia-alumina-iron spinel bricks, special processes such as high-pressure molding and high-temperature sintering are used. These processes ensure the density and strength of the product, and also help to form excellent microstructures and properties.
Performance
1. Excellent erosion resistance: Magnesia sand, iron-alumina spinel and other components in magnesia-alumina-iron spinel bricks have high chemical stability and can resist the erosion of silicate melts at high temperatures. In addition, a dense layer with a high Fe content is formed around the iron-aluminum spinel particles in the brick, further enhancing its anti-erosion ability.
2. Good thermal shock resistance: Magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks utilize the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between different phases to form a large number of microcracks and mesh structures inside the material. These structures can absorb and release thermal stress, thereby effectively resisting thermal shock damage. Therefore, magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks have high stability and service life at high temperatures.
3. Excellent kiln skin performance: Magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks can react with cement clinker during use to form a dense calcium aluminate protective layer. This protective layer can prevent further penetration of the liquid phase and improve the ability to resist clinker erosion. At the same time, the organizational structure of magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks is also conducive to the infiltration of the melt of the kiln material to form a "mechanical anchor", thereby enhancing the stability and adhesion of the kiln skin.
4. Low thermal conductivity: Compared with directly bonded magnesia-chrome bricks, magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks have lower thermal conductivity. This helps to reduce the heat loss of the kiln lining material and the transfer of heat to the kiln shell, thereby reducing the surface temperature of the shell. This not only improves the operating efficiency of the kiln, but also helps to save energy and reduce consumption.
5. Environmental protection and pollution-free: Magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks completely eliminate the problem of excessive chromium content in cement. During production and use, it does not release harmful substances and is environmentally friendly.
Magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks have excellent erosion resistance, good thermal shock resistance, excellent kiln skin performance, low thermal conductivity, and environmental protection and pollution-free. These advantages make magnesium-aluminum-iron spinel bricks an indispensable high-quality refractory material in high-temperature industrial kilns such as cement kilns.
