Engineered for Ladles, EAFs, and Converters

Magnesia Carbon (MgO-C) bricks are premium refractory materials engineered for the extreme conditions of steelmaking processes, including ladles, electric arc furnaces (EAFs), and basic oxygen furnaces (BOFs). By integrating high-purity fused magnesia, graphite, and advanced additives, these bricks deliver unmatched resistance to thermal shock, slag corrosion, and oxidation.
Designed for critical zones such as slag lines, metal baths, and high-wear areas, our MgO-C bricks ensure extended campaign life, reduced downtime, and enhanced operational efficiency—while prioritizing safety and environmental sustainability.

Features

  • Exceptional Thermal Stability: Operates reliably at temperatures exceeding 1750℃ (3182℉), ideal for molten steel environments.
  • Superior Thermal Shock Resistance: Graphite content (10-14%) minimises cracking during rapid thermal cycling.
  • Advanced Slag Corrosion Resistance: High-purity magnesia (MgO > 85%) and antioxidants resist aggressive basic slags and chemical attack.
  • Optimised Thermal Conductivity: Low conductivity reduces heat loss, improving energy efficiency and maintaining stable process temperatures.
  • High Mechanical Strength: Cold crushing strength (30-40 MPa for MgO-C; 55-60 MPa for AMC bricks) ensures durability under mechanical stresses.
  • Tailored Formulations: Customisable carbon and additive content for specific applications such as slag lines or EAF hot spots.
  • Enhanced Safety: Non-toxic, asbestos-free materials with stable performance reduce risks of refractory failure.
  • Lower CO₂ Emissions: Optimised formulations and extended service life reduce refractory consumption, minimising CO₂ emissions from production and disposal.

Benefits

  • Extended Service Life: Advanced antioxidant systems (e.g., Al, Si, B₄C) reduce carbon oxidation, achieving up to 120+ heats in ladle slag lines and 50% longer EAF campaigns.
  • Precision Manufacturing: High-pressure pressing (500 & 2000T) and automated batching ensure consistent density and microstructure.
  • Customisable Solutions: Tailored brick compositions and shapes optimize performance for specific furnace conditions and steel grades.
  • Reduced Downtime: Superior thermal shock resistance minimises spalling, lowering maintenance frequency and costs.
  • Enhanced Safety Profile: Stable refractory performance reduces risks of sudden lining failures, protecting personnel and equipment.
  • CO₂ Reduction: Up to 20% lower refractory consumption, reducing emissions by approximately 1525 Kg CO₂ per ton of refractory material.
  • Sustainability Focus: Eco-friendly additives and energy-efficient processes minimise environmental impact while maintaining performance.

Applications

Our Magnesia Carbon Bricks are designed for high-performance refractory linings in:

  • Steel Ladles: Slag lines, metal zones, and bottoms, providing superior resistance to slag penetration and thermal cycling.
  • Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs): Hot spots, slag lines, and tap holes, ensuring stability under high-temperature arcing and slag attack.
  • Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs): Sidewalls, bottoms, and charge pads, designed for aggressive slags and high mechanical stress.
  • Specialized Applications: Secondary refining vessels (RH, VOD), non-ferrous smelting furnaces, and high-temperature industrial kilns.

Manufacturing Excellence

Our state-of-the-art production facilities ensure consistent quality through:

  • Advanced Equipment: High-capacity friction presses (500 & 2000T) and automated mixing systems for precise blending.
  • High-Temperature Firing: Tunnel kilns operating at 1600–1800℃ ensure optimal sintering and structural integrity.
  • Quality Assurance: Rigorous testing for chemical composition, porosity, strength, and thermal properties, compliant with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards.
  • R&D Innovation: Dedicated research team developing low-emission formulations and advanced oxidation-resistant additives.
  • Sustainable Practices: Energy-efficient kilns and recycling of production by-products reduce environmental footprint.
