What are common refractory materials?

2024-03-11 08:52:17

Refractory materials refer to materials that can maintain their physical and chemical properties stable at high temperatures and resist high temperature effects. They are widely used in industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials, and power.

Common types of refractory materials

Common refractory materials can be divided into the following categories based on their chemical composition:

Acidic refractory materials: mainly composed of SiO2, such as silica bricks, semi silica bricks, etc.

Alkaline refractory materials: mainly composed of MgO and CaO, such as magnesium bricks, magnesium chromium bricks, etc.

Neutral refractory materials: mainly composed of Al2O3 and Cr2O3, such as high alumina bricks, corundum bricks, etc.

The unique advantages of graphite as a refractory material

Graphite is a carbon material with excellent fire resistance, and its main characteristics are as follows:

High fire resistance: Graphite has a melting point of up to 3500 ℃ and will not melt or decompose at high temperatures.

Good thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity of graphite is 1.5 times that of steel and 1.2 times that of copper, which can quickly and uniformly transfer heat.

Corrosion resistance: Graphite has good acid and alkali corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemical substances.

Good self-lubricating properties: Graphite has self-lubricating properties, low friction coefficient, and is not easy to wear.

The application of graphite in refractory materials

Graphite has a wide range of applications in the field of refractory materials, mainly including the following aspects:

Graphite crucible: used for melting metals, chemical raw materials, etc.

Graphite mold: used for producing semiconductors, electronic components, ceramic products, etc.

Graphite seal: used to seal high-temperature and high-pressure media.

Graphite anti-corrosion material: used for anti-corrosion in industries such as chemical and metallurgical industries.
