In the demanding world of refractory materials, producing complex-shaped components without compromising quality has long been a challenge. That’s where our large cast silicon carbide brick comes in — not just another product, but a proven solution for global clients facing unique design needs.
Our proprietary casting process begins with precise raw material blending — typically 95%+ pure silicon carbide powder mixed with specialized binders and additives. This ensures uniformity and structural integrity. The mixture is then poured into custom-designed gypsum molds, which allow for intricate geometries impossible to achieve via traditional pressing methods.
After drying at controlled humidity (typically 24–48 hours), the green body undergoes a high-temperature firing cycle (up to 1700°C). According to internal lab tests, this method reduces cracking risk by up to 68% compared to conventional pressing techniques — a critical advantage when dealing with large or thin-walled shapes.
Take one example from a European steel plant that needed a 1.2-meter-long curved refractory block for their ladle lining. Traditional methods resulted in frequent breakage and inconsistent performance. After switching to our cast bricks, they reported a 40% increase in service life and zero defects over six months of continuous operation.
Another case involved an Asian automotive foundry requiring custom-shaped inserts for die-casting machines. Our team worked closely with their engineers to adjust grain size distribution and binder ratios — resulting in a 30% faster installation time and improved thermal shock resistance.
