Description
Magnesia carbon brick(MgO-C brick) is a kind of non-burning carbon composite refractory material made from high-melting-point basic oxide magnesia and high-melting-point graphite, which is resistant to slag penetration,adding various non-oxide additives and combining with carbonaceous binder. As a composite refractory material, magnesia carbon bricks effectively combine the strong slag resistance of magnesia with the high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion of carbon, thereby compensating for poor spalling resistance of magnesia. Their main features include excellent high-temperature performance, strong slag resistance, good thermal shock resistance, and low high-temperature creep.
Advantages
- High strength.
- Good slag resistance.
- Good thermal shock stability.
- High refractoriness.
