Description of Magnesia Carbon Brick
Magnesia carbon brick is a non-burning carbon composite refractory material combined with carbon binder. Using high melting point basic oxide magnesium oxide (melting point 2800°C) and high melting point carbon material which is difficult to be infiltrated by slag as raw materials, various non-oxide additives are added. As a composite refractory material, magnesia carbon brick effectively utilizes the strong slag erosion resistance of magnesia and the high thermal conductivity and low expansion of carbon to compensate for the biggest shortcoming of magnesia’s poor spalling resistance.
