Description

Fused-Cast Zirconia-Corundum Brick (AZS)

Material System & Positioning

AZS bricks are dense electro-cast refractories of zircon sand and alumina: Al₂O₃ ≥48%, ZrO₂ ≥32%, bulk density ≥3.60 g/cm³ and apparent porosity ≤2%. Extremely dense with minimal glassy phase and stable crystallization, they lead the industry in glass-melt erosion and wash resistance—the critical material for glass tank walls, bottoms and throats. It is Henan Songrui's premium grade for the glass industry.

Key Performance

  • Electro-cast: extremely dense, porosity ≤2%.
  • Glass-melt resistance: outstanding erosion/wash resistance.
  • Minimal glassy phase: stable crystallization, long life.
  • Dedicated zones: tank walls, bottoms, throats.

Applications

  • Glass: tank walls, bottoms, throats, doghouse corners, tuckstones.
  • Associated: transition pairing with chrome-corundum, corundum and fireclay bricks.

Selection Advice

AZS is the recommended choice for direct glass-contact zones; select ZrO₂ content (33#/36#/41#) by zone. Grind and lay in tight packing to prevent glass leakage.

Installation & Maintenance

Grind, lay tightly with dedicated mortar; protect against impact cracking and control joints.

Key Features

  • Fused-cast AZS, extremely dense
  • Superior resistance to molten-glass erosion
  • For tank walls, pavements and throats
  • Low glassy phase and stable crystallization
  • Precision tight joints prevent glass leakage
  • Works with corundum/fireclay transition sections

Typical Applications

Fused-cast AZS brick is the core refractory of glass furnaces:

  • Glass: melting-end tank walls, tank bottom paving, throat, forehearth and feeder, tin bath bottom bricks.
  • Advantage: service up to 1700℃, ZrO₂ 33-41%, extreme resistance to glass attack without contaminating the melt.

FAQs

Why is AZS used in glass furnaces?

Fused-cast AZS resists glass attack without contamination—used for walls and throat in direct glass contact.

ZrO₂ content of AZS?

Typically 33-41% ZrO₂ with service about 1700℃.

AZS vs corundum brick for glass?

Glass-contact zones require AZS; non-contact hot zones can use corundum or mullite.
