Application status of Tabular Corundum refractories in the steel industry
Oct 19, 2024Tabular corundum can be used as the main component in aluminum-carbon, aluminum-magnesium-carbon, magnesium-aluminum-carbon, magnesium-spinel, and aluminum-chromium refractory bricks, and can also be introduced as an enriched alumina component into high-aluminum amorphous refractory materials.
It can be widely used in the steel, casting, ceramics and other industries, among which the application in the steel industry almost covers the entire process of iron and steel making.
The application status of refractory materials made of tabular corundum in the steel industry is listed in Table 1
