In high-temperature industrial processes like glass melting, the choice of refractory lining directly impacts kiln longevity, operational efficiency, and total cost of ownership. For decades, engineers have relied on electrically fused AZS bricks—especially TY-AZS36—as a benchmark for durability in demanding environments.
TY-AZS36 isn't just another refractory brick—it's engineered for extreme conditions. With an optimized composition of Al₂O₃ (40–45%), ZrO₂ (36–38%), and SiO₂ (16–20%), it achieves unmatched thermal stability and corrosion resistance at temperatures exceeding 1500°C.
| Property | Standard Value | Performance Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Density | ≥ 3.85 g/cm³ | Reduces porosity → minimizes chemical penetration |
| Apparent Porosity | ≤ 1.0% | Improves mechanical strength under thermal shock |
| Hot Corrosion Resistance | >95% mass retention after 72 hrs @ 1550°C | Outperforms traditional fireclay or basic bricks by 2–3x |
Unlike conventional materials that degrade rapidly due to molten glass infiltration or thermal stress, TY-AZS36 maintains structural integrity through its dense microstructure—a result of precise sintering control during manufacturing. This makes it ideal for critical zones such as side walls, throat areas, and bottom bricks where failure leads to costly downtime.
A major container glass producer in Germany replaced their standard zirconia-alumina brick with TY-AZS36 in the crown and side wall sections of a 30-ton/day furnace. After one year of operation:
This case illustrates how material science translates into tangible ROI—not just longer life, but improved production consistency and lower energy costs.
