Refractory pre-formed shape refer to refractory material products that are manufactured in advance and formed in factories or production equipment. They are usually machined through molds or mechanized processes and installed directly where they are needed when applied on site.
The manufacturing process of refractory pre-formed shape includes the following steps:
1. Material selection: Select appropriate refractory materials according to specific application requirements, such as high alumina bricks, magnesia-alumina bricks, graphite bricks, etc. Material selection can be made based on temperature, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength and other requirements.
2. Mold design: Design the corresponding mold according to the shape and size requirements of the pre-formed shape. The mold may be metal, plastic or other suitable material.
3. Raw material preparation: Mix the selected refractory materials evenly, and add an appropriate amount of binder and other additives to improve the adhesion and fluidity of the material.
4. Pouring and shaping: Pour the pre-prepared refractory mixture into the mold, use vibration or pressure to remove air and ensure that the material fills the entire mold. After the material solidifies and hardens, the formed refractory preform is taken out.
The advantages of refractory precast include:
1. High quality and consistency: Refractory precast has higher quality assurance and better consistency due to manufacturing in a controlled factory environment.
2. Reduced construction time on site: Refractory pre-formed shape components can be manufactured in advance in factories and installed directly at site locations when needed, reducing construction time and labor costs.
3. Improve construction efficiency: The shape and size of the pre-formed shape have been accurately manufactured according to the design requirements and can be installed quickly, saving time on on-site measurement and adjustment.
4. Reduced construction noise and dust: The use of precast can reduce noise and dust generated during construction due to reduced on-site processing and cutting.
The pre-formed shape used in the refractory industry have the following characteristics on the basis of ordinary pre-formed shape:
1. High temperature resistance: preforms used in the refractory industry need to be able to withstand extremely high temperatures, and are usually used in high temperature equipment and processes. These pre-formed shape must choose refractory materials with excellent heat resistance, such as high alumina bricks, silicate bricks, etc.
2. Corrosion resistance: pre-formed shape in the refractory industry may be exposed to corrosive gases or liquids, such as acid mist, alkaline liquids, etc. Therefore, pre-formed shape need to choose refractory materials that can resist chemical erosion, and take corresponding anti-corrosion measures.
3. Accuracy requirements: pre-formed shape in the refractory industry are often used to construct critical parts such as furnaces, insulation layers, and support structures. Therefore, these prefabs need to be of precise size and shape to ensure proper assembly and installation. Precision machining and quality control in a factory production environment can meet this requirement.
4. Special shapes and designs: Precast parts in the refractory industry often require custom designs based on special requirements for equipment and processes. For example, furnace linings, insulating bricks, etc. may need to have complex shapes and structures to accommodate curved surfaces, angles or special requirements of the equipment.
5. Ease of installation: Precast elements in the refractory industry are usually installed on site. In order to improve construction efficiency, pre-formed shape need to be easy to assemble and install, such as lap joints, reserved holes, etc., to facilitate the operation of on-site workers.
6. Maintenance and replacement convenience: After a period of use in the refractory industry, pre-formed shape may be affected by wear, thermal shock and other factors and need to be maintained or replaced. Therefore, the pre-formed shape should be designed to be easy to disassemble and replace, so as to facilitate the later maintenance and repair work.
Refractory pre-formed shape are prefabricated refractory components with specific shapes and sizes in factories or production sites. They play an important role in high temperature environments and have the following functions:
1. Simplified construction: Refractory pre-formed shape can be custom-made according to specific needs, with standardized shapes and sizes. This enables them to be installed quickly on the construction site, reducing on-site tooling and assembly time. Compared with on-site masonry or pouring methods, refractory pre-formed shape can improve construction efficiency and reduce labor costs.
2. Provides consistency and precision: Since refractorypre-formed shape are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, their quality and dimensions can be tightly controlled, ensuring greater consistency and precision. This is critical for applications requiring precise fit, tightness and structural stability, such as furnace linings, kiln partitions, etc.
3. Enhance structural strength and stability: Refractory pre-formed shape are made of high-quality refractory materials, which have high strength and stability, and can withstand large thermal stress and mechanical load in high temperature environments. They can be used to construct strong refractory structures such as linings, roofs, walls, etc. of hearths, kilns and heating equipment.
4. Provides Abrasion and Chemical Resistance: Refractorypre-formed shape are often formulated with special refractory materials to provide excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. This makes them suitable for occasions that need to resist corrosion and wear of high temperature gas, liquid or solid media, such as metallurgy, chemical industry, glass manufacturing and other industries.
5. Reduced thermal bridges and heat losses: By using refractorypre-formed shape, thermal bridges (paths through which heat is conducted) and heat losses in the furnace or equipment can be reduced. The shape and size of the prefab is designed to provide good thermal insulation and prevent the uncontrolled conduction of heat in the structure, thereby improving energy efficiency and saving fuel costs.
