High-Quality Fused Cast α-Alumina Block (RTK-A) from China Suppliers & Factory for Superior Wear Resistance

RTK-A is a high-performance material made from nearly 100% alpha-alumina, renowned for its exceptional properties. Manufactured in China, this alumina offers remarkable resistance to high temperatures and strong alkali, ensuring a compact structure and excellent chemical stability. As one of the leading suppliers in the industry, our factory produces RTK-A with superior wear resistance and corrosion resistance to a variety of slags, setting it apart from other aluminum silicate products. Ideal for use in skid roll bricks for metallurgy electrolyzers and heating furnaces, RTK-A utilizes high-purity raw materials, resulting in minimal impurities and almost no matrix glass phase. This translates into outstanding low-contamination performance for molten glass applications.

    Brief Introduction

    Fused and cast alumina products are alumina series fused and cast blocks made of high-purity alumina raw materials, which are melted in an electric arc furnace at a high temperature above 2000℃. Due to the use of high-purity raw materials, less impurities and almost no matrix glass phase, it has excellent low contamination performance to the molten glass.
    The crystal phase structure of the fused alumina series is composed of α-alumina and β-alumina, which has different composition ratios. The products of different varieties have different properties and can meet different operating conditions. According to its crystal phase structure, it is divided into α-β corundum brick (RTK-M), β-corundum brick (RTK-H) and α-corundum brick (RTK-A). Further classification shall be made according to the appearance quality specification level and casting method. These classifications can meet the different application requirements of fused cast corundum series in glass furnaces and metallurgical electrolyzers.
    RTK-A is composed of nearly 100% α-alumina, which has high temperature resistance, strong alkali resistance, compact structure, excellent chemical stability and strong wear resistance. Its corrosion resistance to various slags is far stronger than other aluminum silicate products, and it is an ideal material for the skid roll bricks of the metallurgy electrolyzer and heating furnace.
