Description

Andalusite Brick

Material System & Positioning

Andalusite bricks are mullitized fired refractories of andalusite: Al₂O₃ ≥70%, load softening point ≥1600℃, thermal shock stability ≥10 cycles and CCS ≥75 MPa. Mullitization with slight micro-expansion gives stable hot volume, creep and thermal shock resistance for hot blast stoves and torpedo cars under frequent temperature swings. It is Henan Songrui's professional grade.

Key Performance

  • Mullitization micro-expansion: stable hot volume, creep resistant.
  • Thermal shock resistance: suits frequent heating/cooling.
  • Load-bearing: ideal for arches under temperature cycling.
  • High strength: CCS ≥75 MPa.

Applications

  • Steel & Iron: hot blast stove domes/walls, torpedo cars, mixers.
  • Glass/Ceramics: hot load-bearing zones.
  • Petrochemical: heater roofs.

Selection Advice

Andalusite, silica and high-alumina bricks form a zoned hot blast stove system: andalusite for domes and hot load-bearing zones, high-alumina for medium-low zones. Lay with andalusite mortar.

Installation & Maintenance

Lay with andalusite mortar, tight joints; match arch shapes and reserve expansion joints.

Key Features

  • Andalusite mullitizes with slight hot expansion
  • High-temperature volume stability and creep resistance
  • Thermal-shock resistance for stoves and torpedo ladles
  • For load-bearing arches with frequent swings
  • Material grading with silica and high-alumina bricks
  • Use with andalusite mortar

Typical Applications

Andalusite brick uses mullitization micro-expansion for thermal shock and creep resistance:

  • Steel & Iron: hot blast stove domes and hot zones, mixer linings, torpedo cars, hot metal ladle permanent layers.
  • Coking: coke oven doors and ends.
  • Glass/Ceramics: high-temperature structural zones.
  • Advantage: service up to 1600℃, micro-expansion offsets shrinkage, low creep for long-term hot service.
