Fused magnesia brick is a basic refractory material with a magnesia (MgO) content of over 90%, with periclase as the main crystalline phase. It is produced from fused magnesia as the primary raw material through high-temperature forming and firing.
Compared with sintered magnesia bricks, the main difference lies in the use of fused magnesia clinker as the raw material, resulting in higher purity, a denser structure, and improved corrosion resistance.
• High refractoriness and excellent resistance to alkaline slag corrosion
• High load softening temperature and good high-temperature strength
• Dense structure and good chemical stability
• Relatively low thermal shock resistance
Fused magnesia bricks are widely used in basic steelmaking furnaces, electric furnace hearths and sidewalls, and permanent linings of oxygen converters.
They are also used in non-ferrous metal smelting furnaces, cement rotary kilns, magnesia brick calcining kilns, and high-temperature tunnel kilns, as well as in hearths and walls of heating furnaces and checker bricks in regenerators of glass melting furnaces.
