FAQ
What is HA-90?
HA-90 is the 88-92% Al₂O₃ grade in our high alumina bricks range, rated to 1600°C. Typical catalogue values: Al₂O₃ content 88-92%; Fe₂O₃ content 1.0%; apparent porosity 14-18%; cold crushing strength 70 MPa; max service temperature 1600°C. It is also referred to as AL-90, 90% alumina and SK 40. Standard: IS 4041. Confirm the exact figures on the grade datasheet before specifying.
What is the alumina content of HA-90?
HA-90 carries 88-92% Al₂O₃ with Fe₂O₃ 1.0%. Under IS 4041, high alumina bricks are those with 45% Al₂O₃ or more. Export enquiries may quote SK 40 for this grade; we match SK codes by alumina content.
Where is HA-90 commonly used?
HA-90 is typically specified for blast furnace hearth. Applications across the high alumina bricks range also include steel ladles & torpedo cars, cement rotary kiln burning zone & ladles, glass tank regenerator chambers and blast furnace bosh & belly. Send us your operating conditions and we will confirm the grade.
What shapes and sizes are available for HA-90?
The standard brick is 230 × 115 × 75 mm. We also supply straight, wedge, arch, end arch, side arch, circular, skew and split shapes, and special shapes to drawing. Send the drawing and quantity for a quotation.
How do I select between HA-80 and HA-90?
HA-80: 78-82% Al₂O₃, rated to 1600°C. HA-90: 88-92% 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.
Can you supply custom shapes as per drawing?
Yes. Arch, wedge, skew and special shapes are available against drawing, sample or requirement. Send the drawing, dimensions and quantity through the quote form, WhatsApp or +91 98999 57888.
