Silica brick is an acidic refractory material mainly composed of tridymite, cristobalite and a small amount of residual quartz and glass phases.
Silica content is more than 94%. True density 2.35g/cm3. Resistant to acidic slag erosion. Higher high temperature strength. The load softening starting temperature is 1620~1670℃. It will not deform after long-term use at high temperatures. Thermal shock stability is low (heat exchange in water is 1 to 4 times). It uses natural silica as raw material, plus an appropriate amount of mineralizing agent to promote the transformation of quartz in the green body into tridymite. It is slowly fired at 1350~1430℃ in a reducing atmosphere. When heated to 1450°C, there will be a total volume expansion of about 1.5~2.2%. This residual expansion will make the seams close and ensure good air tightness and structural strength of the masonry.
Silicon bricks, also known as silica bricks or silicon carbide bricks, are a type of refractory material commonly used in glass kilns and other high-temperature applications. They are made primarily from silica (SiO2), which is a key component of sand and quartz.
It is mainly used for the partition walls of the carbonization chamber and combustion chamber of coke ovens, the regenerators and slag chambers of steel-making open-hearth furnaces, soaking furnaces, refractory materials of glass melting furnaces and ceramic firing kilns, and other kiln vaults. Load-bearing parts. It is also used in high-temperature load-bearing parts of hot blast furnaces and acidic open-hearth furnace tops.
Silica bricks for coke ovens are siliceous refractory products with tridymite as the main crystal phase used for building coke ovens. Modern coke ovens are large-scale thermal equipment built with tens of thousands of tons of refractory materials and nearly a thousand brick types, of which silica bricks account for 60% to 70%. Coke oven silica bricks are used to build coke oven regenerator walls, ramps, combustion chambers, carbonization chambers and furnace roofs, etc.
