FAQ
What is A-60?
A-60 is the 60-63% Al₂O₃ grade in our andalusite bricks range, rated to 1600°C. Typical catalogue values: Al₂O₃ content 60-63%; apparent porosity 14-17%; cold crushing strength 70 MPa; max service temperature 1600°C. It is also referred to as 60% alumina and SK 36. Confirm the exact figures on the grade datasheet before specifying.
What is the alumina content of A-60?
A-60 carries 60-63% Al₂O₃. Export enquiries may quote SK 36 for this grade; we match SK codes by alumina content.
Where is A-60 commonly used?
Applications for the andalusite bricks range include blast furnace hot-blast stoves, reheating furnace hearth & walls, ceramic & sanitaryware kilns, cement plant preheater & riser ducts, steel ladle safety lining and petrochemical heater linings. Grade selection depends on your operating conditions; send them to us and we will confirm A-60 or a neighbouring grade.
How do I select between A-55 and A-60?
A-55: 55-58% Al₂O₃, rated to 1550°C. A-60: 60-63% Al₂O₃, rated to 1600°C. Higher alumina generally brings higher refractoriness and slag resistance. Send us your application and operating temperature and we will confirm the grade.
