Applications of Silicon Carbide Fireproof Stones

• Hot Blast Stoves: Used as a regenerator for preheating blast air for blast furnaces in steel production. The fireclay stone alternates between heating and cooling phases to efficiently store and release heat.
• Coke Ovens: Employed in the regeneration chambers of coke ovens, where they assist in recovering heat from exhaust gases to improve energy efficiency.
• Glass Furnaces: Utilised for heat recovery in the regenerator sections to enhance the efficiency of glass melting processes.
• Other Industrial Furnaces: Applied in various furnaces where heat recovery is essential, including in non-ferrous metal production and ceramic kilns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a fireproof silicon carbide stone?

Silicon carbide fireproof stones are high-performance fireproof stones made from silicon carbide (SiC), a compound known for its exceptional hardness, high thermal conductivity, and excellent resistance to thermal shocks, wear, and chemical corrosion.

Q2: How do I select the right silicon carbide fireproof stone for my application?

- Temperature Requirements: Select stones that can withstand the maximum operating temperature.

- Required Thermal Conductivity: Opt for stones that ensure the required heat transfer for your process.

- Mechanical Strength: Consider stones with the appropriate compressive strength for your application.

- Chemical Environment: Ensure that the stones possess the necessary resistance to the chemicals present in your operating environment.

Q3: Are fireproof silicon carbide stones suitable for all environments?

No, while they are highly resistant to wear, thermal shocks, and chemical attacks, they may not be suitable for environments with extremely high oxygen content and temperatures exceeding 1,000 °C, as silicon carbide can oxidise over time. Additionally, their brittleness may limit their use in applications subject to significant mechanical impacts.
