Overview of Clay Bricks
Clay bricks, also known as sintered bricks, are a common refractory material mainly used in construction and industry. It is a small block made of clay (including shale, coal gangue and other powders) as the main raw material, through a series of processes such as clay processing, molding, drying and roasting.
Characteristics of Clay Bricks
Refractory Performance
Clay bricks have good refractory performance, and their refractoriness is generally between 1300 and 1650 degrees Celsius. This characteristic enables clay bricks to work stably for a long time in high temperature environments and is suitable for various thermal kilns.
Anti-corrosion ability
Clay bricks are weakly acidic refractory products that can resist the erosion of acidic slag and acidic gases, but have slightly poor resistance to alkaline substances.
Thermal performance
Clay bricks have good thermal performance and are resistant to rapid cooling and heating. This means that it can withstand rapid changes in temperature without breaking easily.
Application of clay bricks
Clay bricks are widely used in many industries due to their excellent performance, mainly including:
Metallurgical industry: used for lining, furnace bottom, hot air duct and other parts of metallurgical equipment such as iron furnace, steel furnace, blast furnace, ladle, converter, electric furnace, etc.
Chemical industry: used for lining, reactor, pipeline, heating furnace and other parts of chemical equipment such as oil refining, fertilizer, ethylene, etc.
Power industry: used for power station boilers, flues, desulfurization equipment, dust removal equipment, burners, etc.
In summary, clay bricks are an important building material and refractory material with a wide range of uses and significant advantages, but they also face challenges in environmental protection. With the advancement of technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, the production and application of clay bricks may develop in a more sustainable direction in the future.
