The density of refractory materials varies depending on the specific type of material used. Generally, refractory materials have relatively high densities to ensure stability and durability under extreme thermal conditions.
Refractories are classified as dense or insulating types. The most high-temperature refractories, such as firebricks, are high-density (>1,92 gr/cm3). They offer excellent resistance in challenging operating environments, such as slags with different chemical compositions, fumes, dust, and gases.
Silica brick is a refractory that contains at least 93 percent SiO2. The raw material is high quality rocks. Various grades of silica brick have found extensive use in the iron and steel melting furnaces and the glass industry.
They are therefore useful as high temperature construction materials in furnaces and kilns. The thermal conductivity of zirconium dioxide is much lower than that of most other refractories and the material is therefore used as a high temperature insulating refractory.
This behavior contrasts with that of many other refractories, for example alumina silicate materials, which begin to fuse and creep at temperatures considerably lower than their fusion points. Other advantages are flux and stag resistance, volume stability and high spalling resistance.
The 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% alumina classes contain their respective alumina contents with an allowable range of plus or minus 2.5%. High-alumina brick are classified by their alumina content according to the following ASTM convention. These are: Mullite refractory: Mullite brick is about 72wt% alumina with 28wt% silica.
