In the dynamic world of the glass industry, finding the right refractory materials has always been a challenge for glass manufacturers. High temperatures, corrosive substances, and the need for product quality all pose significant obstacles. Enter AZS crucible bricks, a game - changer in the field of high - performance refractory materials.
AZS crucible bricks are renowned for their exceptional properties. First and foremost, they have a high refractoriness. These bricks can withstand temperatures of up to 1700°C, which is crucial in glass melting processes where extremely high temperatures are required. For example, in a large - scale flat glass production line, the glass melting furnace operates at around 1500 - 1600°C. AZS crucible bricks can maintain their structural integrity under such harsh conditions, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the furnace.
Thermal stability is another key feature. They can resist rapid temperature changes without cracking or spalling. In a real - world scenario, when a glass kiln is shut down for maintenance and then restarted, the temperature inside the kiln changes rapidly. AZS crucible bricks' excellent thermal stability allows them to adapt to these changes, reducing the risk of damage and extending the service life of the kiln.
Moreover, AZS crucible bricks have strong resistance to corrosion and erosion. The molten glass contains various chemical substances that can corrode ordinary refractory materials. However, AZS crucible bricks can effectively resist the attack of these corrosive substances. According to laboratory tests, the corrosion rate of AZS crucible bricks in contact with molten glass is only about 1/3 of that of some traditional refractory bricks, which means they can significantly reduce the replacement frequency of refractory materials in glass kilns.
They also have good anti - stripping performance. In the glass melting process, the surface of the refractory materials may be affected by mechanical stress and chemical reactions, leading to stripping. AZS crucible bricks can resist this phenomenon, maintaining a smooth surface and reducing the pollution of the molten glass.
One of the most significant advantages of AZS crucible bricks is the customization service. No matter the size or shape requirements, the manufacturers can customize AZS crucible bricks according to the customers' drawings and specific needs.
For large - scale glass enterprises that produce flat glass, they may need large - sized AZS crucible bricks with specific dimensions to fit their large - volume glass melting furnaces. On the other hand, small - scale specialty glass production factories, such as those producing art glass or high - precision optical glass, may require crucible bricks in unique shapes to meet their special production processes. For instance, a small art glass studio needed a crucible brick with a special curved shape for a new glass - blowing project. Thanks to the customization service, they were able to get the perfect product for their needs.
Many glass enterprises are worried about the compatibility of refractory materials with their production processes. The customization service of AZS crucible bricks effectively addresses this concern. By closely communicating with customers, the manufacturers can understand the specific requirements of each production line, including temperature, chemical environment, and mechanical stress. Then, they can customize the AZS crucible bricks with the most suitable composition and structure to ensure the best compatibility with the production process.
