Zirconia Corundum Brick Description
Zirconia Corundum Brick, often referred to as AZS Brick, which stands for Alumina-Zirconia-Silica, is a high-performance refractory brick made primarily from zirconia (ZrO₂) and alumina (Al₂O₃), with the addition of silica (SiO₂). These bricks are known for their exceptional resistance to thermal shock, corrosion, and wear, making them ideal for use in high-temperature environments, particularly in applications involving contact with molten glass, metals, and aggressive slags.

FAQs
Q1: What is Zirconia Corundum Brick?
Zirconia Corundum Brick, also known as AZS Brick (Alumina-Zirconia-Silica), is a high-performance refractory brick made primarily from zirconia (ZrO₂), alumina (Al₂O₃), and silica (SiO₂).
Q2: How do Zirconia Corundum Bricks compare to other refractory materials?
Zirconia corundum bricks offer superior corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, and mechanical strength compared to many other refractory materials. However, they are typically more expensive, making them ideal for specific high-temperature applications where these properties are essential.
Q3: How do I choose the right Zirconia Corundum Brick for my application?
- Temperature Requirements: Select bricks that can withstand the maximum operating temperature.
- Corrosion Resistance Needs: Choose bricks with the appropriate zirconia content based on the type of chemical exposure (acidic or basic).
- Mechanical Strength: Consider the mechanical stress and wear resistance required for your application.
- Thermal Shock Resistance: Ensure the bricks can handle rapid temperature changes without cracking.
