AZS- 41 Bricks Introduction
AZS-41bricks for glass gurnace is a white solid formed by pure alumina powder and zircon sand containing zirconia 65% and about 34% silica in the electric furnace and then injected into the mold to be cooled. The structure of AZS-41 brick consists of an eutectoid and a glass phase of corundum and zirconium, AZS-41 refractory bricks are phased as eutectoids of the corundum phase and the zircon oblique phase, the glass phase is filled between their crystals.
AZS- 41 Bricks Application
AZS-41 refractory bricks for glass furnace has the most baddeleyite crystals among fused cast AZS series with very good corrosion resistance to molten glass ,So AZS-41 brick is used for all demanding glass contact applications, such as electrode blocks ,dam walls, throats,corners and melting end side walls.

AZS- 41 BricksUsing Precautions in Glass Kiln
1.Irregular Changes in Thermal Expansion
The expansion curve of the Al2o3-Zr2o3-Sio2 brick has an anomaly near 1000 °C, the internal ZrO2 crystal undergoes a reversible crystal transformation with a large volume change. Therefore, AZS block product containing ZrO2 should not be used at around 1000 °C, and the temperature of AZS-41 refractory bricks for glass kiln is often A region that fluctuates sharply. When baking the kiln, the temperature change at 900~1150 °C should not be too large, generally can not exceed 15 °C / h, requiring a steady temperature rise. Fused cast AZS bricks parts should be protected from blowing cold air and protected by other bricks to prevent cracking.
2.Shrinkage
When casting, there are often shrinkage holes in the casting mouth, and azs-41 refractory brick body has more pores and poor density. Therefore, when the glass wall of the glass melting part is made, the shrinkage holes are directed toward the direction of the kiln. When AZS-41 refractory brick is eroded to a very thin level, azs-41 brick will cause a leakage of glass liquid. When used in the upper flame space of the kiln, the service life is very long, and there is no problem of running glass. Therefore, the casting port is used outwards to extend the service life.
3.Eutectic
The AZS-41 refractory brick and the clay brick are in contact with the clay brick. The eutectic phenomenon occurs at a high temperature of 1300 °C. Therefore, when the refractory material is selected, the two refractory materials with severe eutectic phenomena should be avoided from contact with the masonry, such as silica brick casting. Below AZS fused cast bricks ,AZS brick is most susceptible to erosion by the fused cast AZS brick.
AZS - 41Bricks Packing and Delivery
Consider various and complex transportation conditions, fused cast azs-41 bricks products are packing following the highest standards with foam boards between every two blocks, corners protected with triangular hard card boards & multi-strengthened by steel bands and wrapping in plastic film on the outside.
For easy location of different materials,fast cast AZS-41 bricks packing lists are places both inside and outside packages, shipping marks are clearly painted on all cases.
