What is Mullite Brick?

Different from mullite insulation bricks, mullite brick is a kind of fire brick mainly composed of mineral mullite. Mullite refractory brick has a unique crystal structure that gives mullite bricks special thermal and mechanical properties. What’s more, the alumina content in mullite brick is 65% ~75%. Besides, mullite refractory bricks have wide usage in high-temp industries and furnaces.

Classification of Mullite Brick

Sintered Mullite Brick

Sintered mullite brick is produced by sintering process. What’s more, it consists of high alumina bauxite clinker as the main raw material, with a small amount of clay or raw bauxite as the binding agent. At the same time, the sintering process helps densify mullite bricks, reducing porosity and improving their mechanical strength. In addition, the exact sintering temperature and duration depend on the desired properties and application requirements.

Fused Cast Mullite Brick

Fused cast mullite refractory bricks consist of high bauxite, industrial alumina and refractory clay as raw materials, adding charcoal or coke fines as a reducing agent. In addition, these bricks are manufactured through a fusion casting process. In addition, these high temp refractory bricks have a dense microstructure due to the slow cooling and solidification process, which results in high density and low porosity, to improve their mechanical strength.

Corundum Mullite Brick

Corundum mullite bricks mainly include corundum (alumina, Al2O3) and mullite (alumina silicate, 3Al2O3-2SiO2). The combination of these two materials gives the brick excellent mechanical strength, high-temperature stability and thermal shock resistance. In addition, these bricks are suitable for use in extreme temperature environments, such as industrial furnaces, kilns, and incinerators. Besides, they are a preferred choice under intense conditions.

Notes:

Fused cast mullite has larger crystals than sintered mullite and resists thermal shock better than sintered mullite refractory. Meanwhile, their high temperature properties depend mainly on the content of alumina and the uniformity of mullite phase and glass distribution.

Mullite Bricks Properties

High Refractoriness

Mullite brick is high temperature refractory and its softening load starts at 1600°C ( 2912℉) to 1700°C (3092℉).

Acid and Corrosion Resistance

Mullite refractory bricks have significant resistance to acid and corrosion. So they can withstand exposure to acidic environments without significant degradation.

Cold Crushing Strength

Mullite bricks possess high cold crushing strength above 60Mpa, which means they can withstand significant compressive loads without crumbling or breaking.

Low Thermal Expansion

Mullite bricks have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which makes them expand and contract minimally with temperature changes.

Wear Resistance

Mullite bricks are highly resistant to wear and abrasion. For instance, they can withstand mechanical stresses and erosive forces.

What Are Mullite Bricks Used For?

Used for Various High-temp Industries

Because of its high load softening temperature, low creep rate at high temperatures, good thermal shock resistance and resistance to acid slag erosion, mullite bricks have a wide range of applications in the steel industry, glass industry, ceramic industry, petrochemical industry, non-ferrous metal industry, cement industry, etc.

Used for Various High-temp Furnaces

When it comes to the uses of refractory bricks, we need to understand the special requirements of different high-temperature kilns for refractory bricks. The following are several high-temperature kilns commonly used for mullite bricks:

Blast Furnace

These mullite bricks properties decide they are suitable for blast furnaces for lining the hearth and lower stack areas. What’s more, mullite refractory bricks offer excellent thermal resistance, withstanding the intense heat generated by the combustion of coke and the reduction of iron ore. Besides, they provide a durable and heat-resistant lining that can withstand thermal cycling, ensuring the structural integrity of the furnace.

Hot Blast Furnace

In hot blast furnaces, mullite refractory bricks are suitable for the lining of hot blast furnaces. Furthermore, they are chosen for this application due to their exceptional thermal insulation properties, resistance to thermal shock, and ability to withstand high-temperature combustion gases.

Glass Furnace

Mullite refractory bricks are used as lining materials in glass melting tanks, and regenerators. Because their high refractoriness and resistance to alkali and acidic environments make them suitable for glass production.

Ceramic Furnace

In ceramic manufacturing processes, the lining material of ceramic furnaces uses mullite refractory bricks. Besides, mullite bricks’ low thermal expansion and high refractoriness make them maintain stable and controlled temperatures within ceramic furnaces, to ensure the uniform heating and cooling of ceramic materials.

Cement Furnace

In cement manufacturing processes, mullite bricks are used for the lining material of cement furnaces where clinker is heated to produce cement. Moreover, mullite refractory bricks provide excellent thermal insulation, resistance to thermal shock, and durability against the alkaline environment and abrasive materials present during cement production.
