Clay bricks are manufactured from refractory clay (kaolinite-type minerals) through processes including batching, forming, drying, and high-temperature firing. Their primary mineral composition consists of mullite and silicate glass phases, exhibiting the following performance characteristics:
Excellent thermal stability and thermal shock resistance: Low thermal expansion coefficient enables adaptation to frequent furnace startups/shutdowns and temperature fluctuations.
Superior thermal insulation: Relatively low thermal conductivity minimizes furnace heat loss, delivering significant energy savings.
Moderate refractoriness and slag resistance: Offers adequate resistance to acidic slag, meeting standard operating requirements for diverse industrial furnaces.
Excellent workability: Easily cut and processed into various custom shapes and dimensions as required.
Exceptional cost-effectiveness: Abundant raw materials and mature production processes make it one of the most cost-efficient refractory materials.
