The Use Property of Refractory Material

In use process of refractory material,  due to a variety of differences of environment, a variety of requirements are proposed on the performance of products, whether to meet the requirements of

performance indicators, become the main measure standard of the quality of refractory products, and also prolong its service life, improve the important basis of use value.

RefractorinessRefractoriness is refractory material resist to high temperature function rather than melting performance, its meaning of refractoriness and melting point are different, melting point

is refers to the crystalline phase and liquid phase of pure substance is in equilibrium temperature. And general refractory material is multiphase solid mixture composed of a variety of mineral,

has no uniform melting point, but began to produce liquid phase under certain temperature, with temperature rising, the liquid phase ratio increases continuously, to a fixed temperature, solid

phase can all melt for the liquid phase. Between the two fixed temperature range, both liquid phase and solid phase exist at the same time.

The chemical composition, mineral composition and its distribution of refractory products are the most basic factors to influence the refractoriness. Impurity elements with strong solvent effect, will

seriously reduce the refractoriness of products. Uneven distribution of composition that cannot form an ideal high melting point mineral, will lead to lower refractoriness products, so damage the

using performance of products, but the refractoriness of products doesn't mean its use temperature, because refractory material in use, processes through high temperature function at the same

time, often with the solvent effect of load and external things and so on. Actually allowable working temperature is much lower than refractoriness, but, after all, the refractoriness index is one of the

important reference frame to select reasonably fused cast AZS.





Refractoriness under load

The refractoriness under load of refractory material, also known as the high temperature load deformation temperature, defined as refractory products under persistent overheating conditions,

bear deformation temperature under constant load. It said the refractory products at the same time resist the ability of high temperature and load effect.

Linear change on reheating

Linear change on reheating, also known as residual linear change, refers to after the refractory material heated to high temperature, happens the irreversible changes of its length. The specific

definition is refractory products sample heated to the specified temperature, heat preservation time, after cooling to room temperature, the length produce residual expansion or contraction.
