Brief introduction:

fireclay brick is a fireclay product with Al₂O₃ content of 30% - 40% aluminum silicate material. fireclay brick is made of 50% soft fireclay and 50% hard fireclay clinker, batching according to certain particle size requirements, after molding, drying, and firing at a high temperature of 1300-1400℃. The mineral composition of fireclay bricks is mainly kaolinite and 6% a 7% impurities (potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, iron oxide). fireclay brick firing process, mainly kaolinite continuous decomposition of water loss to generate mullite crystallization process. fireclay brick in the SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ in the firing process and impurities to form eutectic low melting point silicate, surrounded by mullite crystals.

fireclay brick belongs to the weak acid refractory products, can resist the erosion of acidic slag and acidic gases, the resistance to alkaline substances is slightly worse. fireclay bricks have good thermal properties and are resistant to rapid cooling and heating. fireclay brick refractoriness and silicon brick is not similar, up to 1690-1730 ℃, but the load softening temperature is lower than the silicon brick more than 200 ℃. Because the fireclay brick contains high refractoriness of mullite crystals, but also contains nearly half of the low melting point amorphous glass phase.

In the temperature range of 0-1000 ℃, the volume of fireclay brick with the temperature and uniform expansion, linear expansion curve is similar to a straight line, linear expansion rate of 0.6% -0.7%, only about half of the silica brick. When the temperature reaches 1200 ℃ and then continue to raise the temperature, its volume will be expanded by the maximum value of contraction. Residual contraction of fireclay bricks lead to masonry mortar cracking, which is a major disadvantage of fireclay bricks. When the temperature exceeds 1200 ℃, the low melting point in the fireclay brick gradually melted, because of the particles by the surface tension and leaning against each other very tightly, resulting in volume contraction.

Characteristics:

fireclay bricks have good thermal properties, resistance to rapid cooling and heating, and strong impact resistance, resulting in a long service life, with the ability to resist slag erosion at high temperatures without being destroyed;
