The main raw materials used in the manufacture of refractories are silicon, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, and zirconium oxides. Carbides, nitrides, borides, silicates, and graphite are examples of non-oxide refractories. Refractories are chosen based on the conditions they will be e

Novel refractory material for High- Temperature, High- Alkaline Environment The use of traditional refractory materials is restricted by factors that reduce the energy efficiency of the process, such as: chemical reactions, mechanical degradation caused by the use environment, temperature and installation restrictions, and expensive maintenance costs. Decreased insulation performance of refractory materials will increase process heat loss, and frequent maintenance requires c

Refractory in metallurgy industries The metallurgical industry relies on the refractory industry for building materials. The ceramic industry also takes the metallurgical industry as the main refractory material market. In this country, they consume more than half of the total output. According to a study conducted at 1W$, open hearth furnaces absorb more than one-third of refractory bricks, blast furnaces and heating furnaces each account for about 7%, cupolas and smelting f
