VITCAS Fire Bricks, 60% Alumina, sized at 230x114x64mm. These high-grade refractory bricks are designed for extreme temperatures up to 1600°C /2910°F. Ideal for demanding applications like kiln linings, ceramics, metal casting, forges, and brazing hearths, they offer exceptional durability for the most challenging environments.
VITCAS Fire bricks 60% Alumina are Refractory Fire Bricks specially engineered to meet the most demanding high-temperature applications, rated as High Duty with a service temperature reaching up to 1600°C /2910°F. Each refractory brick, with dimensions of 230 x 114 x 64mm and weighing approximately 4.5 kg, is designed to offer exceptional performance and longevity.
Key Features
High Alumina Content: A minimum of 60% Alumina for superior heat resistance and durability.
Low Iron Content: Reduces oxidation and enhances thermal stability under high temperatures.
Low Alkali Content: Minimises degradation, prolonging the life of the bricks.
Thermal Shock Resistance: Capable of withstanding rapid temperature changes, ideal for high-temperature fluctuations.
Abrasion Resistance: Offers increased resistance to physical wear and tear.
High Density and Strength: Ensures durability and a long lifespan under extreme conditions.
Applications
These bricks are excellently suited for:
Kiln Linings: Ideal for high-temperature kilns in the ceramics and metal casting industries.
Ceramics: Perfect for constructing and maintaining furnaces in the ceramics sector.
Metal Casting: Provides reliable lining for high-temperature metal casting furnaces.
Incinerators and Cremators: Specially designed for the intense conditions of incinerators and crematoriums.
Installation Recommendation
For optimal results, we recommend using VITCAS Refractory Mortar Vitset 45 for setting these 60% alumina bricks, ensuring a robust and durable installation. Alternatively, you may use higher grades of high alumina Refractory Mortars in the Vitset range - Vitset 80 or Vitset 90 resistant up to 1860°C / 3380°F.
Manufacturing Tolerance and Variations:
Please note that due to the inherent manufacturing process, there may be slight tolerances +/-3mm in the size of the bricks. Similarly, subtle colour variations may occur between bricks, which does not affect the product's performance. It is also normal to find small chips on the bricks; this is not a product fault but rather a characteristic of the refractory fire brick. These can be easily covered by Mortar or Cement, if required.
