In the glass production industry, the problem of glass melt pollution is extremely serious. Contaminated glass melt can lead to a series of quality issues in glass products, such as bubbles, inclusions, and poor transparency, which directly affect the performance and market competitiveness of glass products. Therefore, finding an effective way to reduce glass melt pollution has become an urgent need for glass production enterprises.
This is where the electro - fused α - alumina block TY - A comes into play. It uses high - purity alumina with an Al₂O₃ content of over 98% as the raw material. This high - purity characteristic is the key to its excellent performance in reducing glass melt pollution. Impurities like Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ are completely absent in this block. When in contact with the glass melt, these impurities are often the main causes of bubble formation and chemical reactions that contaminate the glass melt. Since the TY - A block is free from these impurities, it rarely generates bubbles during the contact process with the glass melt. According to laboratory tests, compared with traditional materials, the bubble generation rate is reduced by up to 80%, which significantly reduces the pollution of the glass melt.
The production process of the electro - fused α - alumina block TY - A also endows it with outstanding performance. It is smelted and cast in an electric furnace at 2000°C to form a dense structure. This dense structure gives the block excellent resistance to strong alkalis. In the high - temperature environment of glass production, glass melts often contain alkaline substances. Traditional materials may be corroded by these alkalis, releasing harmful substances into the glass melt. However, the TY - A block can maintain its stability even in the presence of strong alkalis. Moreover, at a high temperature of 1350°C, it has strong corrosion resistance. The corrosion rate is only about 10% of that of ordinary materials, which means it can serve for a longer time in the glass production environment without contaminating the glass melt.
Many glass production enterprises have already tasted the benefits of using the electro - fused α - alumina block TY - A. For example, a medium - sized glass production enterprise in Europe used this block in its glass melting furnace. After a period of use, they found that the purity of the glass melt was significantly improved. The number of defective products caused by melt pollution decreased by 60%, and the production efficiency increased by 30% due to less downtime for furnace maintenance. Another glass factory in Asia reported that the quality of its high - end glass products has been greatly enhanced after adopting the TY - A block, which has helped the factory gain a larger share in the high - end glass market.
In conclusion, the electro - fused α - alumina block TY - A offers multiple advantages. Its high - purity raw materials effectively reduce glass melt pollution, and its excellent production process gives it strong corrosion resistance and stability at high temperatures. By using this block, glass production enterprises can improve the purity of the glass melt, enhance the quality of glass products, and increase production efficiency.
We strongly encourage glass production enterprises to try using the electro - fused α - alumina block TY - A. By doing so, you can significantly enhance your position in the highly competitive market and achieve better development. Don't miss this opportunity to improve your glass production process and product quality!
