Silica bricks are manufactured from high-purity quartzite with added mineralizers, formed under high pressure and fired at elevated temperatures. Their distinctive properties include:
Superior high-temperature volume stability: Undergoes crystalline transformation at high temperatures to form stable tridymite and cristobalite structures
Excellent load-bearing softening temperature: Initial load-bearing softening temperature approaches its refractoriness, ensuring outstanding structural strength at high temperatures
Strong resistance to acidic slag erosion: Exhibits excellent resistance to acidic furnace slag and acidic gases
Low thermal conductivity at high temperatures: Helps reduce kiln heat loss and improve energy efficiency
Cost-effective operation: High cost-performance ratio, suitable for large-scale high-temperature equipment
