Experience of the Saratov Institute of Glass in Developing Special-Duty Refractories for Float Process

A domestic version of the float process using two-stage formation of glass has been developed by the Saratov Institute of Glass. Characteristics of refractories for the melt tank lining in a float glass line include durability at 600-1000 C, the chemico-mineralogical composition, permeability, therm...

Description
Summary:A domestic version of the float process using two-stage formation of glass has been developed by the Saratov Institute of Glass. Characteristics of refractories for the melt tank lining in a float glass line include durability at 600-1000 C, the chemico-mineralogical composition, permeability, thermal resistance and conductivity, constant volume when heated, large-size blocks for tank bottom, and mechanical strength. Refractories used include a two-layer composite consisting of 33-36% alumina and corundum concrete, a chamotte-zircon mixture, high alumina, baddeleyite-corundum, chamotte, and quartz ceramics.
