3. Silicon Bricks<\/h3>\n

The SiO2 content of silicon brick is more than 93%. It is mainly composed of phosphor quartz, cristobalite, residual quartz, and glass.<\/p>\n

Refractory Applications of Silicon Bricks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually, silicon bricks are for partitions of the coke oven carbonization and combustion chambers, open-hearth heat storage chambers, bearing parts of hot blast stoves, and high-temperature kilns.<\/p>\n

4. Magnesium Bricks<\/h3>\n

Magnesium bricks are alkaline refractory materials<\/strong> made from sintered magnesia or fused magnesium.<\/p>\n

Refractory Applications of Magnesium Bricks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Refractory engineers mainly use magnesium bricks in open-hearth furnaces, electric furnaces, and mixed iron furnaces.<\/p>\n

5. Corundum Bricks<\/h3>\n

Corundum brick refers to a refractory product<\/strong> with an alumina content of more than 90% and corundum as the main phase.<\/p>\n

Refractory Applications of Corundum Bricks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evidently, corundum bricks are typically used in blast furnaces, hot blast stoves, refining external furnaces, and sliding nozzles.<\/p>\n

6. Ramming Refractory Materials in Malaysia<\/h3>\n

In sum, the ramming refractory material<\/strong> refers to a bulk material formed by a strong ramming method composed of refractory material, a binder, and an additive.<\/p>\n

Refractory Applications of Refractory Ramming Material<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ramming material is to line various industrial furnaces, such as open-hearth furnace bottom, electric furnace bottom, induction furnace lining, ladle lining, and tapping trough.<\/p>\n

7. Plastic Refractory<\/h3>\n

Basically, plastic refractories are amorphous refractory materials<\/strong> with good plasticity over a long period of time. Furthermore, it consists of a refractory, binder, plasticizer, water, and admixture.<\/p>\n

Refractory Applications of Refractory Plastic\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Specifically, refractory plastics <\/strong>are used in various heating furnaces, soaking furnaces, annealing furnaces, and sintering furnaces for the industrial furnace market.<\/p>\n

8. Refractory Castable Materials in Malaysia<\/h3>\n

Generally, refractory castable is a kind of refractory products with good fluidity which is suitable for pouring molding. Moreover, it has a mixture of aggregate, powder, cement, and admixture.<\/p>\n

Refractory Applications of Refractory Castables<\/strong><\/p>\n

In essence, refractory castable<\/strong>\u00a0is the most widely used monolithic refractory material typically used in various industrial furnaces.<\/p>\n
