Magcarbon Bricks (MgO-C bricks) are a special type of refractory material with excellent chemical properties that make them valuable in various industries. These bricks are widely used to line basic oxygen furnaces to protect them against the intense heat and corrosive environment during oxygen blowing. These are often utilized to line the walls and hearth of electric arc furnaces, which extends the life of the furnace due to their high thermal and slag resistance properties. MgO-C bricks are also used for lining steel ladles, particularly in the slag line area in steelmaking. They also find applications in secondary refining processes, including vacuum degassing units and ladle furnaces. Additionally, Magnesia carbon bricks are also used in the production of copper, nickel, and aluminium, where extreme heat and aggressive chemical reactions are common.
The versatility of Magcarbon Bricks and its demand as a refractory material in steelmaking and other high-temperature applications serve as a major factor that drive its market. Its utilization as a crucial component in converters, electric arc furnaces, ladles, and secondary refining furnaces largely promotes its demand in the steel industry. Its application as a material used to line the walls of electric arc furnaces and slag line areas further enhances its demand in the steel industry.
Its involvement in manufacturing non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminium, etc., and cement kilns for cement production also fuels its demand in the metallurgical and cement industries. Its usage as a material in refinery furnaces used to process various petroleum products also contributes to its demand in the petroleum refining industry. Magcarbon bricks are made from magnesia (magnesium oxide) and carbon. The availability of high-purity magnesite ore and sources of carbon (like graphite) serves as a crucial factor that directly affects the prices, production, and procurement processes for Magcarbon bricks. Changes in the demand for Magcarbon Bricks from the steel industry, driven by global economic conditions, construction activity, and industrial output, directly affect the pricing and industrial Magcarbon bricks procurement.
Raw Material for Magcarbon Bricks Production
According to the Magcarbon Bricks manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Magcarbon Bricks production include Magnesia-Carbon Source (Flake Graphite).
Manufacturing Process of Magcarbon Bricks
The extensive Magcarbon Bricks production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:
- Production via Dehydrochlorination: This method of production involves multiple steps of mixing, molding, and heat treatment (drying). The production of magnesium-carbon (MagCarbon) bricks begins with the preparation of raw materials. Sintered magnesia (98% MgO) and fused magnesia (91% MgO) are crushed and screened separately, with some sintered magnesia ground into fine powder. These are combined with a carbon source like natural flake graphite, additives (3-6%) such as metal aluminum powder, silicon powder, SiC, and Al+Si powder, and a composite binder of thermosetting and thermoplastic phenolic resins. The materials are mixed in a strong sand mixer for 15-45 minutes, with the phenolic resin preheated to 35-45 degree Celsius. The mixture is then formed using an 800t friction brick press, applying multiple pressurization cycles to achieve the desired density. Finally, the bricks undergo heat treatment at 150-200 degree Celsius for at least 32 hours. For special requirements, the bricks may be lightly burned and impregnated with asphalt.
Magcarbon bricks are also known as magnesia carbon or MgO-C bricks. These are advanced refractory materials valued for their exceptional properties in high-temperature industrial applications. These bricks have excellent thermal shock resistance, strong slag erosion resistance, and low porosity with high-temperature strength. They also possess good corrosion resistance. The properties of low thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, and spalling resistance make magnesia carbon bricks ideal for use in steelmaking. The carbon content in MgO-C bricks is susceptible to oxidation at high temperatures. Magcarbon bricks also exhibit a low high-temperature creep rate and non-wettability to molten slag. At high temperatures, these bricks undergo complex reactions, including carbon oxidation and MgO-C interactions, which can affect their structure.
