What is the High Alumina Brick?

Kerui Refractory high alumina brick is a type of refractory brick, that primarily consists of alumina (Al2O3). Because of the high alumina content in the fire brick, it can enhance thermal insulation, improve resistance to thermal shock, and increase fire refractoriness. Meanwhile, this refractory brick effectively protects the structural integrity of industrial equipment by avoiding heat loss and resisting chemical corrosion.

SK36 Bricks

SK36  fire bricks have an alumina content of around 55-65%. These refractory bricks offer good thermal stability and high mechanical strength, which have wide applications in the lower temperature zones of industrial furnaces, such as hot blast stoves and blast furnaces.

SK37 Bricks

SK37 bricks are a type of refractory brick with an alumina content of approximately 65-70%. They are suitable for use in moderate temperature applications. SK37 high alumina refractory bricks are commonly suitable in various industrial furnaces, such as reheat furnaces, and heating furnaces.

SK38 Bricks

SK38 bricks have a higher alumina content of 70-82%. They show superior thermal shock resistance and can withstand higher temperatures compared to SK36 bricks. SK38 high alumina bricks are suitable for applications in areas of high thermal stress, such as steel ladles, cement rotary kilns, and electric arc furnaces.

SK40 Bricks

SK40 bricks have an alumina content of approximately 82-90%, which have excellent wear resistance and chemical resistance. These bricks have a wide range of applications in the hottest areas of industrial furnaces, such as the burning zone of cement rotary kilns and the transition zone of lime kilns.

Composition of High Alumina Bricks

The main raw material used for high alumina fire brick is Bauxite, which is a natural mineral rich in alumina. At the same time, other materials and additives may be included to enhance specific high alumina bricks properties. The general raw material composition of these refractory bricks for sale includes:

Bauxite

Bauxite is the main raw material and source of alumina in high alumina refractory bricks, which typically contains a high percentage of Al2O3 and different amounts of impurities such as  SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, and other substances.

Clay

Certain types of clay, such as kaolin clay or fire clay, may be added to the raw material composition of high alumina bricks. Clay helps to plasticize the mixture and improves the processability of the raw material mixture.

Silica

As the raw material mixture, sometimes silica (SiO2) can improve the properties of refractory bricks, which can enhance thermal shock resistance and reduce thermal expansion of high alumina bricks.

Binders and the exact high alumina bricks chemical composition can vary based on the manufacturing process and detailed performance requirements of the high alumina bricks. Therefore, careful control of the chemical composition of the fire bricks is crucial to ensure refractory properties, thermal stability, and wear resistance in high-temperature applications.

Excellent Slag Resistance

This refractory brick has more alumina content and better slag resistance, which is suitable for molten metal or other corrosive materials.

Good Thermal Insulation

These bricks have low thermal conductivity, which helps to minimize heat transfer and improve the overall thermal efficiency of industrial processes.

High Load Soft

This brick has a high Al2O3 content, so their load-softening temperature is high. As such, they withstand high temperatures while maintaining structural integrity.

Long Service Life

These bricks have a long service life due to their ability to withstand high temperatures. Meanwhile, it reduces the need for frequent maintenance.

Superior Thermal Stability

These fire bricks have excellent thermal stability. They can maintain mechanical strength even when subjected to rapid temperature changes.

High Temperature Refractoriness

The fire resistance of these bricks is higher than silica bricks. The refractoriness of alumina fire bricks is from 1750°C (3182°F ) to 1790°C (3254 °F).

Advanced Manufacturing Process of Kerui High Alumina Bricks

Step1
Selecting Raw Materials

After the equipment sends raw materials into the workshop, they are put into storage after screening and testing. Then the materials are dosed by the fully automated batching system to ensure that the product performs as expected.

Step2
Forming

High alumina bricks manufacturers are equipped with the CNC press and hydraulic press. In addition,  the links required for refractory brick forming: pressing, extruding or casting forming, are operated by the machine, with high precision of forming.

Step3
Firing

Kerui Refractory has two 160m high-temperature natural gas tunnel kilns. This process is crucial as it converts the raw materials into a dense, solid structure. Meanwhile, high alumina bricks are fired at high temperatures.

Step4
Cooling and Inspection

Once the firing process is complete, the refractory bricks are gradually cooled down to room temperature. They are then inspected for quality. Fire bricks that pass the inspection are ready for packaging.

Wide Applications of High Alumina Bricks

Cement Kilns

The cement industry widely used these bricks, specifically in cement kilns. For instance, the bricks are suitable for the burning zone, transition zone, and cooler areas of the kiln, where they endure high temperatures, chemical corrosion, and thermal shock.

Hot Blast Stoves

Hot blast stoves are essential in the iron and steel industry. Besides, these refractory bricks are suitable for lining the combustion chamber and the hot blast stove stack, where they can withstand high temperatures and corrosive gases.

Refining Furnaces

Fire bricks are appropriate for applications in the non-ferrous industry which includes copper smelting and refining furnaces. In addition, they offer excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and high-temperature conditions, to ensure long-lasting performance.

Blast Furnaces

High alumina refractory bricks are suitable for lining the lower part of the blast furnace, known as the hearth and bosh. As a result, they can provide excellent resistance to high temperatures, mechanical stress, and chemical attack.

Ladles and Tundishes

Ladles and tundishes are molten metal in the transporting and casting of the steel industry. Meanwhile, these vessels consist of refractory bricks that provide insulation and protection against high temperatures and chemical reactions.

Glass Kilns

These bricks are essential in glass manufacturing processes including glass tanks, and regenerators. So they show excellent thermal shock resistance, which allows them to withstand rapid temperature changes in glass production.
