Magnesite Chrome Brick
Magnesia Chrome Brick – High-Performance Refractory Solution for Industrial Furnaces
Magnesia-chrome bricks are alkaline refractory materials composed mainly of magnesium oxide (MgO) and chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃), produced through high-temperature sintering or fusion processes. Their key characteristics include high refractoriness and strong slag resistance, making them widely used as linings in industrial furnaces operating in high-temperature and chemically complex environments.
Characters of Magnesia Chrome Bricks:
•High Refractoriness: With a refractoriness of ≥1800℃, it can be used continuously at high temperatures ranging from 1600-1800℃.
•Strong Slag Resistance: Excellent resistance to both alkaline slag (e.g., steelmaking slag) and acidic slag (e.g., copper smelting slag).
•Excellent Thermal Shock Stability: Superior resistance to rapid heating and cooling compared to magnesia bricks (withstanding 10-20 cycles), with Cr₂O₃ helping to mitigate thermal stress crack propagation.
•High-Temperature Strength: Refractoriness under load (RUL) ≥1550℃, and cold crushing strength (CCS) ≥40 MPa.
Application scenarios of Magnesia-chrome bricks:
•🔥Steel industry: Ladles, EAF roofs, converters
•🛠️Non-ferrous metallurgy: Copper and nickel smelting furnaces
•🏗️Cement rotary kilns: Transition and burning zones
•🫙Glass furnaces: Regenerators and checker chambers
Different Types of Magnesia-Chrome Bricks:
•Ordinary Magnesia-Chrome Brick: Made from regular magnesia and refractory-grade chromite.
•Direct-Bonded Magnesia-Chrome Brick: Made from high-purity magnesia and chrome concentrate.
•Fused Rebonded Magnesia-Chrome Brick: Made primarily from fused magnesia-chrome sand.
•Fused Semi-Rebonded Magnesia-Chrome Brick: Made from a combination of fused magnesia-chrome sand, sintered magnesia, chromite, or pre-reacted magnesia-chrome sand.

Q: What is the difference between Magnesia Chrome Bricks and Magnesia Bricks?
A:Magnesia Chrome Bricks contain both magnesia (MgO) and chromite (Cr₂O₃), offering better corrosion and thermal shock resistance compared to pure magnesia bricks. They are particularly effective in basic slag environments and metal smelting applications.
Q: Do you offer customized sizes and compositions?
A:Yes, we provide OEM and custom solutions based on your technical requirements. This includes:
•Customized dimensions and shapes
•Specific MgO/Cr₂O₃ ratios
•Packaging with private labeling
Feel free to send us your drawing or specification for a tailored solution.
Q:How do you pack and ship Magnesia Chrome Bricks for export?
A:We pack bricks in fumigated wooden pallets or wooden boxes with waterproof wrapping and edge protection to prevent damage during transit. Our logistics team ensures on-time global shipping with full export documentation support.
Q:What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A:For export orders, our typical MOQ is 20 tons (1x20ft container). However, trial orders or sample orders can be arranged for new partners to test product quality.
Q:Are your Magnesia Chrome Bricks environmentally friendly?
A:Yes. We follow strict environmental and safety standards in raw material selection and production. Our bricks are low in impurities, and Cr⁶⁺ content is controlled, ensuring they meet global environmental compliance.
Q:Do you support long-term B2B partnerships?
A:Yes. We work with global distributors, contractors, and industrial end-users to build long-term cooperation. Exclusive pricing, regional protection, and steady supply can be negotiated for large-scale partners.
