Extend furnace life, reduce refractory consumption, and boost productivity with EAF magnesia-carbon bricks engineered for your specific furnace and operating conditions. EAF magnesia carbon bricks are high-performance refractories specifically designed for the extreme conditions within electric arc furnaces. Made from high-purity fused magnesia and high-purity graphite, these bricks offer exceptional strength, slag resistance, and thermal shock stability. They are ideal for use in high-wear areas such as EAF sidewalls, bottoms, and tapholes. I’ve seen firsthand how the right refractory choice can dramatically impact EAF performance, and magnesia-carbon bricks are often the key to unlocking significant improvements. What makes our magnesia carbon bricks different? Are you looking for a refractory solution that truly matches the unique demands of your EAF? Our customization process ensures that you get the perfect magnesia carbon brick for your specific needs. Key Features: Customized for EAFs & Processes:Our EAF magnesia-carbon brick customization service helps you extend furnace life, reduce consumption, and increase production efficiency through precise material and performance matching. We don’t just sell bricks; we engineer solutions. High-Temperature Resistance:Our bricks use >85% high-purity magnesia + modified flake graphite. This achieves temperature resistance exceeding 1800°C. That helps provide 50% improved slag erosion resistance. That helps provide 40% extended furnace lining life! Applicable Scenarios:Ideal for extreme erosion areas such as converter trunnions, slag lines, and EAF hot spots. They last 2-3 times longer than traditional bricks. In my experience, focusing on these high-wear areas yields the greatest return on investment. Thermal Shock Resistance:Our unique microporous gradient structure improves thermal shock resistance by 60%. The bricks withstand rapid heating and cooling cycles without cracking. This eliminates the risk of furnace breakouts caused by brick spalling. Improve Quality, Reduce Costs:Ultra-low iron oxide content (≤1.5%) minimizes carbon pickup in steel, lowering the cost per ton. Optimized thermal conductivity reduces heat loss within the furnace by 18%. Custom Solution Consultation Digging Deeper into Our Magnesia Carbon Brick Features Let’s examine the science and engineering behind these features to understand how they benefit your EAF operations. The Importance of Magnesia PurityThe purity of the magnesia is critical for high-temperature performance and slag resistance. Impurities like silica, alumina, and iron oxide can react with the magnesia at high temperatures, forming low-melting-point phases that weaken the brick structure and increase its susceptibility to slag attack. That’s why we use only the highest-purity fused magnesia in our bricks, minimizing the presence of these detrimental impurities. The Role of GraphiteGraphite provides excellent thermal shock resistance and also enhances slag resistance by creating a non-wetting surface that prevents slag from adhering to the brick. The graphite also improves the brick’s resistance to oxidation. The type and size of the graphite flakes, as well as their distribution within the brick matrix, all influence the performance of the brick. Thermal Shock Resistance: A Critical FactorEAFs are subjected to rapid temperature changes during charging, melting, and tapping. These thermal cycles create significant stress within the refractory lining. Good thermal shock resistance is essential to prevent cracking and spalling. Our unique microporous gradient structure helps to dissipate these stresses. The micropores act as stress concentrators, preventing cracks from propagating through the brick. Minimizing Iron Oxide ContentIron oxide can be detrimental to steel quality by increasing the carbon content of the steel. Our ultra-low iron oxide content helps to minimize this effect, resulting in cleaner steel and reduced costs. In addition, iron oxide can react with magnesia to form low-melting-point phases, which weaken the brick. Feature   Description Benefit High-Temperature Resistance Withstands temperatures exceeding 1800°C Longer lining life, reduced downtime Slag Resistance Resists attack from corrosive slags Extended life in slag line areas Thermal Shock Resistance Withstands rapid temperature changes Reduced cracking and spalling, safer operation Low Iron Oxide Minimizes steel recarburization Cleaner steel, reduced costs Custom Solution Consultation How can we tailor our magnesia carbon bricks to your specific EAF?
