FAQ

What is Mag-Carbon?

Mag-Carbon is the 75-85% MgO grade in our basic bricks range, rated to 1700°C. Typical catalogue values: MgO content 75-85%; carbon content 10-18%; bulk density 2.9 g/cc; cold crushing strength 35 MPa; max service temperature 1700°C. Confirm the exact figures on the grade datasheet before specifying.

What is the magnesia content of Mag-Carbon?

Mag-Carbon carries 75-85% MgO.

Where is Mag-Carbon commonly used?

Applications for the basic bricks range include BOF converter lining (barrel & cone), EAF upper & lower shell, cement kiln burning & transition zones, non-ferrous smelting furnaces, glass tank regenerator chequerwork and copper/nickel converter vessels. Grade selection depends on your operating conditions; send them to us and we will confirm Mag-Carbon or a neighbouring grade.

How do I select between Dolomite, Mag-Carbon and Magnesia 90?

Dolomite: 35-40% MgO, rated to 1650°C. Mag-Carbon: 75-85% MgO, rated to 1700°C. Magnesia 90: 88-92% MgO, rated to 1700°C. Send us your application and operating temperature and we will confirm the grade.
