The Challenge of Refractory Corrosion in Glass Manufacturing and the Solution of Composite Alumina-Zirconia-Silica Bricks

In the glass manufacturing industry, refractory materials play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the production line and the quality of the final products. However, one of the most significant challenges faced by glass manufacturers is the corrosion of refractory materials. This corrosion can lead to a series of problems, such as reduced product quality, increased maintenance costs, and shortened service life of the equipment.

Composite alumina-zirconia-silica (AZS) bricks have emerged as a revolutionary solution to this problem. With their outstanding resistance to glass melt corrosion and low pollution characteristics, these bricks have become the trusted choice for over 2000 glass enterprises worldwide.

Three Core Advantages of Composite AZS Bricks

1. High Corrosion Resistance: The unique chemical composition and microstructure of AZS bricks give them excellent resistance to the corrosive effects of glass melt. In comparison tests, the corrosion rate of AZS bricks is up to 50% lower than that of traditional refractory materials, which means they can maintain their structural integrity and performance for a longer time in high-temperature and corrosive environments.

Comparison of corrosion rates between AZS bricks and traditional refractory materials

2. Low Pollution: During the glass melting process, the refractory materials may release impurities that can contaminate the glass. AZS bricks have been designed to minimize such pollution. Their low iron and alkali content ensures that they do not introduce unwanted elements into the glass, thus helping to improve the clarity and quality of the final glass products.

3. Multiple Models for Different Working Conditions: We offer a range of AZS brick series, including AZS - 33, AZS - 36, and AZS - 41. Each series is specifically designed to meet the requirements of different glass manufacturing processes and operating environments. For example, the AZS - 41 series is particularly suitable for use in high - temperature melting tanks, where it can provide stable performance under extreme conditions.

Proven Success with Global Applications

Our composite AZS bricks have been successfully applied in more than 2000 glass enterprises across 70 countries. For instance, a large - scale glass manufacturer in the United States was facing frequent production interruptions and quality issues due to the rapid corrosion of their traditional refractory materials. After switching to our AZS bricks, they saw a significant improvement in production efficiency. The service life of the refractory lining was extended by 30%, and the defect rate of the glass products was reduced by 20%.
