Product Description:
Fused magnesia, also known as electrofused magnesia, is a high-purity refractory material with exceptional properties. It is produced by melting natural magnesite in an electric arc furnace, resulting in a dense and highly crystalline structure.
Key Properties:
- High Melting Point: Fused magnesia boasts an impressive melting point of approximately 2800°C (5072°F)
- Density and Hardness: With a density of around 3.5 g/cm³, fused magnesia possesses excellent compactness and durability. Its hardness rating of 8 on the Mohs scale
- Chemical Composition: Fused magnesia primarily consists of magnesium oxide (MgO) and exhibits a minimum MgO content of 98%
- dense structure and high purity of fused magnesia make it ideal for applications in refractory linings
Applications:
- steelmaking, cement manufacturing, and glass production
- Foundry Industry: Fused magnesia serves as a refractory material in foundry applications
- electrical insulator in various electronic and electrical applications
- refractory linings of high-temperature furnaces, crucibles, and continuous casting nozzles in the steel industry.
