Hard Fire Brick

What is the Difference Between Hard and Soft Bricks?

Heavy Duty Fire Bricks

Material Ingredient:

• The main ingredients include alumina, silicate, etc;
• Usually contain higher aluminum content, so they are called high alumina fire bricks, silicate refractory bricks, etc.

Physical Properties:

• High fire resistance: it can withstand high temperature (usually up to 1500℃/2732℉ or above) environments and maintain stable physical and chemical properties;
• High density: it has higher density, stable structure and excellent compression and flexural resistance;
• Corrosion resistance: it can resist chemical corrosion and is suitable for lining industrial equipment in acid and alkali environments.

Application areas:

• Mainly used for lining of various high-temperature industrial equipment. Such as blast furnaces, glass kilns, cement kilns, steel-making furnaces, etc;
• It is suitable for working environments with long-term high temperature and stable operation.

Soft Insulation Bricks

Material Ingredient:

• The main ingredients are lightweight materials, such as expanded perlite, gypsum, lightweight clay, etc;
• Contains more pore structure and has better thermal insulation performance.

Physical Properties:

• Lightweight: soft refractory brick has a lower density, usually half or less that of hard refractory bricks;
• Excellent thermal insulation performance: its pore structure can effectively reduce heat conduction and has good thermal insulation effect;
• Low mechanical properties: its compressive strength and flexural strength are relatively poor and it is not suitable for withstanding high pressure or impact.

Application Areas:

• Mainly used for insulation layer of industrial equipment. For example, furnace walls, flues, pipes, etc;
• It is suitable for environments that require thermal insulation without constant mechanical impact or high temperatures.

Industrial Applications of Different Hard Fire Brick

High Alumina Bricks

• For lining in high temperature industrial furnaces. Such as blast furnace, glass kiln, steel smelting furnace, etc;
• Suitable for working environments that need to withstand high temperatures, fire resistance and chemical corrosion resistance.

Silica Bricks

• Widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials and other industries. Such as cement kiln, glass kiln, iron-making furnace and steel-making furnace;
• The silica fire bricks have good fire resistance and wear resistance in harsh environments such as high temperature, acid and alkali.

Magnesia Bricks

• Used for lining of high-temperature equipment such as glass kilns and cement kilns;
• It has good resistance to chemical attack and fire resistance. It is suitable for glass, cement and other production processes at high temperatures.

Silicon Carbide Bricks

• It is mainly used for the lining of cast iron and cast steel smelting furnaces and the heat insulation layer of high-temperature kilns;
• The sic bricks have excellent high temperature resistance and chemical resistance. So, it is suitable for special high temp industrial production environments.

High Performance Hard Fire Brick Production Process

Kerui has two 168-meter tunnel kilns for mass production of refractory bricks. Moreover, we also have automated robotic arms and digital production systems. In other words, Kerui’s production line has achieved full automation. Besides, our refractory brick production process includes raw material preparation, mixing, shaping, drying, sintering, surface treatment, quality inspection and packaging storage. Alternatively, you can find us on Facebook watching videos detailing every step of the production of refractory bricks.

First, we prepare high-quality raw materials. Such as alumina and silicate materials. So, this ensures product performance and stability. The raw materials are then mixed in proportions and shaped into brick shapes. After drying to remove moisture, we send the bricks into a tunnel kiln for sintering to form a dense crystal structure. Finally, we carry out surface treatment, quality inspection and packaging storage of the refractory bricks. This step ensures the production of high-quality dense refractory bricks that meet standards. Therefore, Kerui can fully meet the needs of refractory materials in the industrial field.
