The fuse cast alumina block is a kind of cast product with rough surface and big size tolerance. In actual use, in order to reduce the brick joints, factories machine it with diamond tools. This can save energy and prolong the service life of the furnace.
Fused cast alumina block can be divided into alpha-beta block, alpha block and beta block.
Alpha-beta fused cast Alumina Block is formed by the compact structure of alpha alumina and beta alumina crystals in a most ideal proportion which is approximately 50% and 50% respectively, where intertwined crystals of both materials result in a very dense structure. It has dense structure and no contamination to glass. It is the ideal refractory materials for channels, spouts and working ends of floating glass furnace.
Alpha fused cast alumina block is an ideal product for the lower temperature zones of the glass melting furnaces due to its high density, superior corrosion resistance and low blister potential. It is also an ideal material for Metallurgical Titanium Furnace because the superior thermal stability.
Beta fused cast alumina block comprises of a majority of beta alumina crystals and a slight portion of alpha alumina crystals in compact structure. Moreover, the intersected texture of large ß-alumina ensures great dimensional stability and great resistance against spalling. Its property of base saturation enables a higher resistance to alkali vapor, thus it has excellent thermal shock resistance and does not form molten droplets. It is the best material for molter crown, port crown, feeder channel, ect.
Recently, the mechanical processing technology of the refractory materials has seen development. The pre-assembling of the refractory materials has already been adopted aboard. After the products are processed, pre-assembled, numbered and accepted, it is transported from the factory. This can save the time of cold repair and hot repair.
