In the high - temperature kiln industry, manufacturers often face a series of challenges. High temperatures can cause rapid wear and tear of kiln linings, and the presence of alkaline slag can lead to corrosion, which in turn increases the frequency of kiln breakdowns and reduces production efficiency. These issues not only increase production costs but also affect the quality and output of products. In response to these pain points, magnesium bricks have emerged as an effective solution.
Magnesium bricks possess excellent mechanical strength. Under normal circumstances, the compressive strength of magnesium bricks can reach up to 50 MPa. This high - strength characteristic enables them to withstand the high - temperature and high - pressure environment inside the glass furnace regenerator without being easily damaged. Scientifically, the crystal structure of magnesium bricks provides a stable framework, which is the key to their high strength.
Another remarkable property is their resistance to alkaline slag corrosion. In a glass furnace environment, alkaline slag is a major factor causing lining damage. Magnesium bricks have a low porosity, usually less than 18%. This low porosity reduces the penetration path of alkaline slag, effectively preventing corrosion. Data shows that in a long - term alkaline slag environment, the corrosion rate of magnesium bricks is only about 0.5 mm per year, far lower than that of ordinary refractory materials.
Let's take a glass manufacturing enterprise as an example. Before using magnesium bricks in the glass furnace regenerator, the enterprise faced frequent kiln breakdowns. The average production interruption time was about 10 days per year, and the annual production loss reached about 200,000 US dollars. After replacing the lining with magnesium bricks, the situation improved significantly.
Indicators | Before Using Magnesium Bricks | After Using Magnesium Bricks |
---|---|---|
Annual Production Interruption Time | About 10 days | Less than 3 days |
Annual Production Loss | About 200,000 US dollars | Less than 50,000 US dollars |
Product Quality Stability | Low | High |
"Since we started using magnesium bricks in our glass furnace regenerator, the production stability has been greatly improved. We no longer have to worry about frequent kiln breakdowns, and the product quality has also been significantly enhanced." - A glass manufacturer
"The corrosion resistance of magnesium bricks is truly amazing. We can see that even after long - term use, the lining is still in good condition, which saves us a lot of maintenance costs." - Another industry customer
