Magnesia spinel bricks are a kind of refractory materials formed by high temperature sintering with magnesia ore and iron ore as the main raw materials. Its unique mineral composition and excellent high temperature performance make it widely used in many high temperature industrial environments, especially in metallurgy, steel and chemical industries.
First of all, one of the main characteristics of magnesia spinel bricks is its excellent high temperature stability. It can work stably for a long time in an environment up to 1600°C and can effectively withstand high temperature thermal shock and drastic temperature changes, which makes it widely used in steel smelting furnaces, high temperature furnaces and other extreme thermal environments.
In steel smelting, magnesia spinel bricks are widely used in the lining of equipment such as converters, open hearth furnaces, and heating furnaces. Due to the high temperature and complex atmosphere in the furnace during steel production, magnesia spinel bricks can provide good thermal shock resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. During the converter steelmaking process, the temperature in the furnace can reach 1650°C, and magnesia spinel bricks can effectively resist the erosion of furnace gas and molten metal, making them an ideal material for converter lining.
In addition, magnesia spinel bricks are also often used in cement kilns, glass melting furnaces and other industries. The working environment of these high-temperature furnaces requires that refractory materials must have excellent high temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. The special mineral composition of magnesia spinel bricks enables them to withstand high temperature and alkaline substances in cement production, and can also withstand high temperature corrosion of molten glass in glass melting furnaces.
In addition to excellent high-temperature performance, magnesia spinel bricks also have good antioxidant properties. In a high-temperature environment, oxygen reacts with the substances in the furnace, which easily leads to oxidation damage on the surface of the material, while magnesia spinel bricks have strong chemical stability and can effectively prevent oxidation, thereby extending their service life.
In short, magnesia spinel bricks are widely used in high-temperature industrial fields such as metallurgy, steel, cement, and glass due to their excellent high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal shock resistance. With the continuous advancement of technology, the performance of magnesia-iron spinel bricks is also constantly improving, and in the future it will have broader application prospects in higher temperature and more harsh industrial environments.
