What is the melting point of fireclay bricks?

The melting point of fireclay bricks depends on their composition, but typically falls within the range of 1300°C to 1800°C (2372°F to 3272°F).

Fireclay bricks are made from a combination of clay and other materials such as kaolin, feldspar, and quartz. The exact composition can vary depending on the desired properties, such as thermal shock resistance, strength, or chemical resistance.

The melting point of fireclay bricks is influenced by factors such as the purity and particle size of the raw materials used, as well as the firing temperature and duration during manufacturing. In general, fireclay bricks with a higher alumina content tend to have a higher melting point than those with a lower alumina content.

Overall, fireclay bricks are valued for their high-temperature stability and ability to withstand thermal shock and abrasion. They are commonly used in applications such as furnace linings, kiln linings, and chimneys where high temperatures are involved.
