High-alumina bricks commonly used in industrial kilns are an important refractory material. They are widely used in various high-temperature industrial fields due to their excellent refractory performance, corrosion resistance and thermal stability. The following is a detailed introduction to high-alumina bricks commonly used in industrial kilns:
1. Definition and characteristics of high-alumina bricks
High-alumina bricks are refractory bricks with a high alumina content, usually containing a high Al₂O₃ component (generally above 48%). Its main characteristics include:
High-temperature stability: It can work stably for a long time in a high-temperature environment and is not easily deformed or damaged due to thermal expansion or thermal contraction.
Corrosion resistance: It has good resistance to chemical corrosive media such as acids and alkalis, and is not easily corroded and damaged.
Wear resistance: The surface hardness is high, it is not easy to be worn, and it can maintain a long service life.
High strength: It has high compressive strength and flexural strength, and can withstand large mechanical stress and thermal stress.
2. Manufacturing process of high-alumina bricks
The manufacturing process of high-alumina bricks mainly includes steps such as batching, molding, and firing. In the batching stage, according to the required Al₂O₃ content and other performance indicators, appropriate raw materials are selected for proportioning. In the molding stage, the ingredients are made into bricks with a certain shape and size through mechanical pressing or other molding methods. In the firing stage, the bricks are placed in a high-temperature kiln for firing to achieve the required density and strength.
3. Application of high-alumina bricks in industrial kilns
High-alumina bricks are widely used in various high-temperature industrial kilns, such as ceramic kilns, glass kilns, steel blast furnaces, hot air furnaces, etc. In these kilns, high-alumina bricks are mainly used to construct key parts such as linings, furnaces and heating equipment. Its specific applications are as follows:
Ceramic kilns: High-alumina bricks are used to construct the lining of ceramic kilns, which can withstand extremely high temperatures and chemical erosion, ensuring the stable operation of the kiln and the excellent quality of ceramic products.
Glass kilns: As a key component of glass kilns, high-alumina bricks must not only withstand the high-temperature flames and erosion of glass liquid in the furnace, but also maintain the stability and sealing of the structure.
Steel blast furnace: The internal temperature of key equipment such as blast furnaces and hot blast furnaces is extremely high, and there is strong chemical erosion and mechanical scouring. High-alumina bricks provide a solid protective barrier for these equipment with their excellent refractory properties and corrosion resistance.
Other industrial kilns: High-alumina bricks are also widely used in high-temperature industrial kilns in industries such as cement, chemical, and electric power. For example, in the cement industry, high-alumina bricks are used to build key equipment such as rotary kilns; in the chemical industry, they are used for the lining of various high-temperature reactors and heat exchangers; in the electric power industry, high-alumina bricks have become an important part of equipment such as boilers and flues.
4. Development trend of high-alumina bricks
With the development of industrial production and technological progress, the application field of high-alumina bricks will continue to expand, and their performance will continue to improve. In the future, the development trend of high-alumina bricks will be mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Green and environmental protection: With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the production of high-alumina bricks will pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development.
High performance: By optimizing ingredients, improving molding process, increasing firing temperature and other means, the high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and other properties of high alumina bricks can be improved to meet the higher requirements of industrial production for material performance.
Diversification: In order to meet the needs of different fields, high alumina bricks will continue to launch new varieties and specifications to meet the diverse needs of users.
Intelligence: With the development of industrial intelligence, the production of high alumina bricks will also gradually become intelligent. By adopting advanced automated production lines, intelligent control systems and other means, the production efficiency and product quality stability can be improved, and the production cost and labor cost can be reduced.
High alumina bricks commonly used in industrial kilns have a variety of excellent properties and are widely used in various high-temperature industrial fields. In the future, with the development of technology and changes in the needs of industrial production, the performance and application fields of high alumina bricks will continue to expand and innovate.
