Andalusite Brick

Andalusite bricks are premium refractory products manufactured by incorporating andalusite into high-alumina formulations. Upon heating, andalusite irreversibly transforms into mullite, delivering exceptional thermal shock resistance, low creep rate, high refractoriness under load, and excellent volume stability. Ideal for critical high-temperature applications.

    Introduction

    Andalusite bricks are produced by adding a controlled proportion of andalusite and other trace elements to high-alumina raw materials, then forming under high pressure and sintering at elevated temperatures. The andalusite converts to mullite during service, creating a needle-like interlocking microstructure that enhances mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance. These bricks exhibit low porosity, excellent alkali resistance, and outstanding volume stability, making them a preferred choice for high-temperature furnaces requiring long service life and minimal maintenance.

    Key Advantages

    01
    Superior Thermal Shock Resistance
    Withstands 25+ cycles of 1100°C water-cooling tests, preventing cracking and spalling under rapid temperature fluctuations.
    02
    Low Creep at High Temperatures
    Maintains structural integrity under sustained high-temperature loads with creep rate ≤0.2% (1400℃×50h), ensuring dimensional stability.
    03
    High Refractoriness Under Load
    Achieves load softening temperature ≥1600℃, delivering reliable performance in the most demanding high-heat zones.
