High-Alumina Insulating Bricks

High-alumina insulating bricks are lightweight, heat-resistant refractory products for medium-to-high temperatures, manufactured primarily from high-alumina bauxite clinker using advanced pore-forming technology. This product combines high alumina content with an optimized porous structure, delivering superior thermal insulation performance while maintaining higher operating temperatures and structural strength than clay insulating bricks. It serves as an ideal insulating lining material for achieving high-efficiency energy savings in high-temperature kilns across metallurgical, ceramic, petrochemical, and other industries.

description

High-alumina insulating bricks are manufactured through a specialized process involving the selection of high-alumina raw materials, the incorporation of composite pore-forming agents and binders, followed by shaping and high-temperature firing. Their performance advantage lies in effectively combining high refractory properties with lightweight insulating characteristics:

- Elevated Service Temperature: With a high Al₂O₃ content (typically 48%-65%), their refractoriness and load-bearing softening temperature significantly exceed those of clay insulating bricks, making them suitable for more demanding high-temperature environments.

- Superior Thermal Insulation: A uniformly distributed closed-cell pore structure provides a low thermal conductivity, effectively blocking heat flow and reducing heat loss from furnace structures.

Good high-temperature volume stability: Thoroughly fired with minimal linear change upon re-firing, ensuring structural integrity of the insulation lining during long-term use.

Moderate mechanical strength: At equivalent densities, it offers superior compressive strength and abrasion resistance compared to clay insulating bricks, meeting mechanical requirements during installation and operation.

Key Technical Specifications:

- Al₂O₃ content: 48% - 65% (series-based)

- Bulk density: 0.8 g/cm³ - 1.5 g/cm³ (series-specific)

- Compressive strength at ambient temperature: ≥ 2.5 MPa - 10.0 MPa (increases with density)

- Thermal Conductivity (Average Temperature 350±25℃): 0.20 W/(m·K) - 0.45 W/(m·K)

- Linear Change on Re-firing: ≤ 2% (Maintained at specified temperature for 8 hours)

- Maximum Service Temperature: 1300℃ - 1550℃ (Graded)
