What is Chrome Corundum Refractory Brick?

Chrome corundum brick, also known as red chrome brick, is a corundum refractory product containing Cr2O3. Main raw material of Chrome corundum brick uses α-Al2O3 as raw material, and adds appropriate amount of chromium oxide powder and fine powder of chromium corundum clinker. Then this brick is fired at a high temperature. In addition, it can also be produced by mud casting. In this way, the α-Al2O3 powder and chromium oxide powder are evenly mixed, then glue and organic binder are added to make a thick slurry. At the same time, part of the chrome corundum clinker is added, and the high temperature refractory brick is made by the grouting method.

It is worth mentioning that the high temperature performance of chromium corundum brick is better than that of pure corundum brick because Cr2O3 and Al2O3 form a continuous solid solution at high temperatures.

Main Compositions of Chrome Corundum Refractory Brick

The main mineral composition of chrome corundum is α-Al2O3-Cr2O3 solid solution. The secondary minerals are composed of a small amount of composite spinel (or no composite spinel), and a chromium oxide content of 1% to 30%.

Al2O3 in Chrome Corundum Brick

Al2O3 is a compound with high hardness. Its melting point can reach 2054℃ (3729℉). As a result, Al2O3 has good high-temperature stability and strong durability. It is often used in the production of refractory materials.

Cr2O3 in Chrome Corundum Brick

Chrome alumina, an inorganic compound, insoluble in water, acid and alkali solutions. Thus, it has excellent chemical stability. Meanwhile, due to its high melting point, chrome corundum brick can withstand extremely high-temperature.

Chrome Corundum Refractory Brick Properties

Wide Applications of Chrome Corundum Refractory Brick

Compared with pure corundum brick, chrome corundum brick has superior properties. There is no doubt that it is commonly used in high-temperature fields with harsh environments. It is difficult to be replaced by other refractory materials that have better properties. Therefore, chrome corundum brick is popular in various industries.

• Steel industry: the lining of high-temperature furnace, furnace bottom, furnace throat and ladle;
• Glass industry: the lining of glass kilns, glass melting furnaces, brushed glass orifice cover brick;
• Non-ferrous metal industry: furnaces, converters, anode furnaces and other equipment;
• Petrochemical industry: reformer, ethylene cracking furnace, pyrolysis reactor, etc.
