    Boiler Refractory ASTM C71

    Refractory materials are classified into three main groups based on their chemical composition: 1) Acidic materials like clay and silica that are not affected by acids but can react with bases. 2) Neutral materials like alumina and chromia that are stable when exposed to both acids and bases. 3) Basic materials like magnesia and dolomite that are stable against bases but can react with acids. Refractories are also classified based on their method of manufacture and melting point temperature, with normal refractories melting between 1580-1780°C, high refractories between 1780-2000°C, and super refractories above 2000°C.

    Boiler refractory ASTM C71

    The materials from which the refractories are made are classified into three groups:
    1)

    Acid materials which consists of clay, silica, quartz, sandstone, gamister.

    2)

    Neutral material which consists of chromite, graphite, plumbago, alumina.

    3)

    Alkaline or Base material which consists of lime, magnesia, zirconia.

    Classification of refractory materials[edit]

    Refractories can be classified on the basis of chemical composition, method of manufacture,
    physical form or according to their applications, fusion temperature.

    Based on chemical composition[edit]


    Acidic refractories[edit]
    Acidic refractories consist of mostly acidic materials like alumina (Al2O3) and silica (SiO2). They are
    generally not attacked or affected by acidic materials, but easily affected by basic materials. They
    include substances such as silica, alumina, and fire clay brick refractories. Notable reagents that can
    attack both alumina and silica are hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid, and fluorinated gases (e.g. HF,
    F2).[9] At high temperatures, acidic refractories may also react with limes and basic oxides.
    Neutral refractories [edit]
    These are used in areas where slags and atmosphere are either acidic or basic and are chemically
    stable to both acids and bases. The main raw materials belong to, but are not confined to, the
    R2O3 group. Common examples of these materials are alumina (Al2O3), chromia (Cr2O3) and carbon.
    Basic refractories [edit]
    These are used in areas where slags and atmosphere are basic; they are stable to alkaline materials
    but could react with acids. The main raw materials belong to the RO group to which magnesia (MgO)
    is a very common example. Other examples include dolomite and chrome-magnesia. For the first

    half of the twentieth century, the steel making process used artificial periclase (roasted magnesite)
    as a lining material for the furnace.

    Based on method of manufacture [edit]


    1. Dry press process
    2. Fused cast
    3. Hand molded
    4. Formed (normal, fired or chemically bonded)
    5. Un-formed (monolithic-plastic, ramming and gunning mass, castables, mortars, dry vibrating
    cements.)
    6. Un-formed dry refractories.

    Based on fusion temperature [edit]


    Based on fusion temperature, (melting point) refractory materials are classified into three types.

    Normal refractory: fusion temperature of 1580 ~ 1780 C (e.g. Fire clay)

    High refractory: fusion temperature of 1780 ~ 2000 C (e.g. Chromite)

    Super refractory: fusion temperature of > 2000 C (e.g. Zirconia)
