Key Factors to Consider When Buying Glass Furnace AZS Blocks
Introduction to Glass Furnace AZS Blocks
Glass Furnace AZS (Alumina-Zirconia-Silica) blocks are essential refractory materials used in glass melting furnaces. These electrocast AZS refractory blocks are known for their high resistance to corrosion, thermal shock, and wear, making them ideal for harsh glass production environments.
Key Properties of Electrocast AZS Refractory Blocks
When selecting AZS blocks, consider the following properties:
- Chemical Composition: Typically composed of 33-41% ZrO₂, 45-53% Al₂O₃, and 11-16% SiO₂.
- Thermal Resistance: High melting point (up to 1800°C) ensures durability in extreme temperatures.
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to molten glass and alkali vapors.
- Density and Porosity: Low porosity (less than 1.5%) minimizes glass penetration.
Applications in Glass Furnaces
AZS blocks are primarily used in:
How to Choose the Right AZS Blocks
Consider these factors when purchasing:
- Grade: Standard (33% ZrO₂), High-Zirconia (41% ZrO₂), or Special grades for specific needs.
- Manufacturing Process: Electrocast blocks offer superior homogeneity and density compared to sintered products.
- Supplier Reputation: Choose suppliers with proven expertise in refractory materials for glass furnaces.
