99.2% High-Purity Sintered Tabular Alumina for Thermal Shock Resistant Refractories

HUAO Tabular Alumina is a premium-grade pure sintered corundum manufactured completely free of sintering additives such as magnesium oxide or boron oxide. Through a specialized route of fine powder milling, roll compaction, and ultra-high temperature firing, the material achieves complete thermal densification. Its microstructure features large, well-developed tabular alpha-Al₂O₃ crystalline grains with an Al₂O₃ purity exceeding 99.2%. Supplied as durable white granular aggregates and fine micro-powders, HUAO Tabular Alumina serves as an essential raw material for B2B manufacturers of high-performance unshaped castables, steel continuous casting components, and severe-service industrial ceramic products.

Technical Parameters

Key Features

• Produced without fluxing aids like MgO or B₂O₃, completely eliminating low-melting glass phases and preserving maximum refractoriness and hot strength under load.
• Ultra-high temperature thermal sintering fosters large, interlocking alpha-Al₂O₃ crystals that provide superior thermal shock performance and mechanical spalling resistance.
• Achieving a bulk density of ≥ 3.50 g/cm³ with apparent porosity strictly controlled to ≤ 5.0%, preventing molten steel and corrosive slag penetration.
• Maintained low silica (SiO₂ ≤ 0.09%) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.02%) levels guarantee high-temperature stability and prevent premature matrix softening.
• Standardized post-sintering handling ensures moisture absorption is ≤ 1.5%, providing predictable hydration kinetics and workability during refractory castable mixing.

Applications

HUAO products serve as critical core aggregates and fine fillers in low-cement, ultra-low cement, and advanced self-flowing castables deployed across steel ladles, tundishes, and main iron runners. They are extensively utilized in the precision manufacturing of critical functional flow control components—including slide gate plates, porous purging plugs, shrouds, and exchange nozzles. Furthermore, they are seamlessly incorporated into high-alumina kiln saggers, setter plates, and specialized industrial wear-resistant ceramic components engineered to withstand extreme thermal cycling and severe mechanical wear.
