Are you troubled by the frequent failure of refractory materials in key parts of your glass melting furnace, such as the side walls, throats, and bottom bricks? If so, you're not alone. The high - temperature and corrosive environment in glass melting furnaces poses significant challenges to the longevity of refractory materials. However, the fused AZS brick TY - AZS36 offers a promising solution. In this article, we'll explore how this product can help you overcome these challenges and extend the service life of your refractory bricks.
The fused AZS brick TY - AZS36 has a high - purity chemical composition, with Al₂O₃ (≥49%) and ZrO₂ (≥35.5%). These high - quality components, combined with its dense microstructure, endow the brick with excellent corrosion resistance and thermal shock stability in the high - temperature environment of glass melting furnaces. The relationship between its chemical composition and microstructure significantly affects its high - temperature performance.
Data Reference: The volume density of TY - AZS36 is ≥3.85g/cm³, the cold - crushing strength is ≥300MPa, and the glass - phase precipitation temperature is ≥1400℃. These core indicators ensure its stability and durability in high - temperature conditions.
Let's take a closer look at how the low apparent porosity (≤1%) of TY - AZS36 reduces gas penetration and enhances its corrosion resistance. The lower the apparent porosity, the less likely it is for corrosive gases to penetrate the brick, thus improving its corrosion resistance rate (≤1.3mm/24h). The following is a comparison chart of the apparent porosity of different refractory bricks:
Each core indicator of TY - AZS36 has a practical significance for its application in glass melting furnaces. The high volume density means a more compact structure, which is crucial for withstanding the mechanical stress in the furnace. The high cold - crushing strength ensures that the brick can maintain its integrity under high pressure. And the high glass - phase precipitation temperature means that the brick can maintain its performance even at extremely high temperatures.
| Core Indicator | Value | Practical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Density | ≥3.85g/cm³ | More compact structure, better resistance to mechanical stress |
| Cold - Crushing Strength | ≥300MPa | Maintain integrity under high pressure |
| Glass - Phase Precipitation Temperature | ≥1400℃ | Maintain performance at extremely high temperatures |
Besides the excellent performance of the product itself, proper maintenance is also crucial for extending the service life of refractory bricks. Here are some practical maintenance strategies:
Controlling the temperature gradient in the furnace is essential. Sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock to the refractory bricks, leading to cracks and damage. By strictly controlling the temperature, you can reduce the risk of such damage.
Regularly inspect the furnace and mark any abnormal points, such as areas with abnormal temperature or signs of corrosion. This way, you can take timely measures to prevent further damage.
Establish a regular inspection schedule, including thickness measurement of the refractory bricks. This allows you to detect any signs of wear and tear early and replace the bricks before they fail completely.
The TY - AZS36 is produced in line with ISO certification standards, which means it meets international quality and safety requirements. Moreover, it also conforms to the trend of green manufacturing, which not only shows its environmental - friendliness but also enhances its value in the industry.
