What is a silica brick?

Silica brick is made of quartz stone material, SiO2 content is more than 93%, it has acid slag corrosion resistance and high high temperature strength. The load softening start temperature is 1620~1670°C. silica refractory brick will not deform after long-term use at high temperatures, and have low thermal shock stability. This residual expansion will tighten the joints and ensure that the masonry has good airtightness and structural strength.

silica refractory brick properties

• Refractory: The refractoriness of silica bricks is generally between 1690-1730℃.
• Load softening temperature: The load softening temperature of alumina silica refractory brick is relatively high, generally between 1640-1680℃, close to the melting point of tridymite (1670℃) and the melting point of cristobalite (1713℃).
• Volume stability: The volume of silica refractory brick is stable in the range from above 300℃ to close to the melting point (tridymite or cristobalite). When heated to 1450℃, it will produce a volume expansion of about 1.5%-2.2%, which is beneficial to the structural strength and air tightness of the masonry.
• Ketahanan terhadap guncangan termal: The thermal shock resistance of alumina silica refractory brick is poor, and the number of water cooling cycles is generally 1-4 kali.
• True density: The true density of alumina silica fire brick is one of the important indicators for judging the degree of its crystal transformation. It is generally required to be below 2.38g/cm³, and silica bricks should be below 2.35g/cm³.

Relationship between the refractoriness of alumina silica fire brick and tridymite

In well-fired silica refractory brick, the content of tridymite can reach 50%-80%. The melting point of tridymite is about 1670℃, while the load deformation temperature of fused silica brick fluctuates between 1640-1680℃, which is close to the melting point of tridymite. Karena itu, the presence of tridymite improves the refractoriness and load deformation temperature of silica bricks, enabling them to maintain structural stability in high temperature environments.

Why is silica used to make bricks for high temperature furnaces

Due to its physical and chemical properties, it is extremely refractory and can remain stable in high temperature environments, which means they will not easily break or deform when the temperature changes. It has good corrosion resistance to acidic substances, which allows them to maintain their structural integrity even in acidic environments. Its low thermal conductivity helps retain heat in high temperature environments, thereby improving energy efficiency.

What is the function of silica in brick?

In the glass industry: lightweight fused alumina silica fire brick are used for heat insulation of glass kiln domes, reducing heat loss and increasing the efficiency of the melting process. In the steel industry: lightweight silica bricks are used for lightweight hot blast furnace walls and domes. In other industries: silica refractory brick are also widely used in high-temperature industrial fields such as metallurgy and ceramics.

Notes

Since the crystal form of the remaining quartz changes at low temperatures, the volume of siliceous products changes greatly. Karena itu, when baking the furnace, the temperature should not be raised too quickly below 600℃, and it should be cooled slowly to 600℃ to avoid cracks.
Avoid contact with alkaline slag as much as possible.
