Tabular corundum is named because its crystal structure is tabular α-Al2O3. It is formed by sintering industrial alumina powder at a high temperature of 1800℃-1900℃, which is different from the process of fused corundum.
Tabular corundum is named because its crystal structure is tabular α-Al2O3. It is formed by sintering industrial alumina powder at a high temperature of 1800℃-1900℃, which is different from the process of fused corundum. Tabular corundum is a sintered corundum crystal with complete shrinkage, low impurity content, small pores, low refiring shrinkage, good thermal shock stability, high temperature corrosion resistance, and good creep resistance.

Application:
Tabular corundum has the general performance advantages of fused corundum, and has less impurities, stable raw material quality, mature technology, and tabular corundum has more advantages in all aspects of performance and more reliable quality. Tabular corundum can be used in many fields such as iron and steel metallurgy, casting, glass, ceramics, chemical industry, electronics, etc., as a high-grade refractory material.
Tabular alumina is mainly used in refractory materials for castables and refractory high-alumina bricks in the steel-making and iron-making industries. , hot blast stove exchanger, etc., with the outstanding advantages of high temperature chemical corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, outstanding wear resistance and good thermal conductivity.

⑥Good corrosion resistance, excellent thermochemical stability at high temperature, corrosion resistance of molten iron and molten steel;
⑦The raw materials are stable, the process is easy to control, and the product quality is stable.
Production Process
The production process of tabular corundum is similar to the sintering process of powder metallurgy. High-purity industrial alumina powder is used as raw material. After further grinding, balling and drying processes, the temperature is rapidly increased in a shaft kiln above 1800 °C. Sintered. The α-Al2O3 crystal formed by sintering is more fully developed, with a flaky crystal structure, compact shrinkage, excellent performance and stable quality.
