What are Dolomite Refractory Bricks?
Dolomite bricks are made from natural dolomitic limestone, a carbonate mineral. The main components of magnesite are magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate. It has a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4. These two components have excellent refractoriness and volume stability. Due to their excellent properties, magnesia dolomite bricks are widely used in high-temperature industries.

Advantages of Kerui Dolomite Refractory Material Brick
- Alkali Resistance:
Magnesia calcium refractory bricks have good alkali resistance and are not eroded by alkaline slag and gas in alkaline chemical environments. - High Refractoriness:
The combination of magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate gives magnesia calcium bricks a high refractoriness. Their refractoriness is higher than that of fire clay bricks. - Thermal Shock Resistance:
Dolomite bricks do not expand or contract significantly under rapid temperature changes. - High Strength:
Dolomite bricks have high strength and can withstand high loads in high temperature environments. - Low Oxidation Potential:
Dolomite bricks are suitable for use in desulfurization equipment. They are beneficial for purifying molten steel and have high compatibility with alkaline slags. They can improve the yield of ferroalloys. - Water Resistance:
Dolomite brick products have poor water resistance. Compared to magnesia bricks, dolomite bricks have better water resistance.
