Description of Andalusite Brick

Andalusite refractory bricks are high - alumina fired refractory products mainly made from natural andalusite. After being fired at a high temperature of 1400 - 1650°C, they transform into mullite and silica phases, featuring excellent high - temperature performance and structural stability.

Features and Properties

  1. High - temperature Performance: The refractoriness reaches over 1800°C, and the softening temperature under load (0.2MPa T0.6) ≥ 1650°C.
  2. Thermal Shock Resistance: It can withstand ≥ 15 cycles of water - cooled thermal shock at 1100°C without cracking.
  3. Mechanical Strength: The compressive strength at normal temperature is ≥ 70MPa, and the high - temperature strength attenuation rate is low.
  4. Erosion Resistance: It has high resistance to the erosion of glass melt, slag, and acid - base media.
  5. Volume Stability: The permanent linear change after heating at 1450°C × 2h is only ± 0.2%.

Applications of Andalusite Brick

  1. Glass Industry: Used in the side walls, breast walls, and checkerwork of regenerators in melting furnaces.
  2. Steel Industry: Applied to the walls/roofs of hot - blast stoves, the bosh of blast furnaces, and the linings of ladles.
  3. Non - ferrous Metallurgy: Used in the high - temperature zone of zinc - volatilization rotary kilns.
  4. Other Fields: Applied to the transition zone of cement rotary kilns and the roofs of ceramic kilns.
