Magnesia bricks are refractory bricks, known for their excellent refractory properties. They are widely used in high-temperature applications. As a professional magnesia brick manufacturer in China, Kerui Refractory has a stable supply capacity and can provide competitive prices.
Magnesia refractory bricks are refractory bricks that have magnesium oxide composition, with a content of magnesia in brick more than 90%. It belongs to alkaline fire refractory. Because magnesia bricks contain more magnesium, they have better alkali resistance and high-temp resistance. The bricks are often used at the bottom of furnaces to maintain their stability.

Main Components of Magnesia Bricks
Magnesia (MgO)
Magnesia in bricks is the main component of magnesia bricks. Meanwhile, it provides the high-temperature resistance and refractoriness that make the bricks suitable for use in harsh environments.
Antioxidants
To enhance the oxidative stability and extend the service life of China refractory magnesia bricks, antioxidants such as chromium oxide (Cr2O3) or other suitable compounds will be included in the composition of the magnesia bricks.
Binders
Binders are added to the mixture to enhance the bonding of the refractory material. Besides, common binders used in magnesia bricks include clay, bauxite, etc that facilitate the formation of a strong and cohesive brick structure.
Additives
The various additives may be incorporated into the bricks to modify specific properties. For example, graphite improves thermal conductivity, while antioxidants like aluminum enhances the resistance to thermal spalling.
Excellent Properties of Magnesia Bricks
Magnesium bricks have high fire resistance, excellent alkali resistance slag performance, high starting temperature for load softening, and high thermal conductivity. However, the ability of magnesium bricks to resist acid slag is poor, and they cannot be directly in contact with silica bricks during use. Generally, neutral bricks are used to separate them.
Used in High-temp Industries
Cement IndustryPetrochemical Industry
Steel Industry
Magnesia bricks are suitable for steel-making processes. They provide excellent resistance to the high temperatures and corrosive nature of molten steel and slag, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the steel production process.
Cement Industry
In the cement industry, these refractory bricks have wide applications in rotary kilns and other cement kiln systems. Because they can withstand the high-temp required for clinker production and exhibit resistance to chemical reactions with raw materials and kiln gases.
Non-Ferrous Industry
Magnesia bricks are suitable for non-ferrous metal industries, such as aluminum smelting and copper refining. Because they can provide resistance to corrosive metal melts and ensure efficient and reliable metal production.
Petrochemical Industry
In the petrochemical industry, magnesia bricks have wide usage in the construction of reactors, and cracking units. they can withstand the severe conditions of these processes, including high temperatures and exposure to corrosive gases and liquids.
Glass Industry
Magnesia refractory bricks have excellent resistance to high temperatures and the corrosive nature of glass melts, providing the glass industry with long-lasting and stable production capacity.
Used in Various Furnaces
Steel LadlesBlast Furnace
Hot Blast Furnace
Magnesia bricks are appropriate in the lining of hot blast furnaces due to their ability to withstand the high temperatures and corrosive gases generated during the preheating process. So the bricks can provide insulation and maintain the structural integrity of the furnace lining.
Blast Furnace
Blast furnaces are key components in the steel furnace refractory. Magnesia bricks are suitable in the lining of blast furnaces. Because they can withstand the intense heat generated by the combustion of coke and the chemical reactions involved in the iron production process.
Reheating Furnaces
Reheating furnaces are employed in the steel industry to heat steel ingots or slabs before subsequent processing. Meanwhile, magnesia bricks are utilized in the lining of these furnaces due to their high-temperature resistance and ability to maintain thermal stability during the reheating process.
Steel Ladles
Magnesia bricks are also suitable for steel ladles, which are vessels used to transport and pour molten steel during the steel-making process. The bricks line the ladle’s inner surface, providing thermal insulation and resistance to the corrosive effects of the molten steel and slag.
