7、iate sources.3.Significance and Use3.1 Alumina-silica refractory brick is produced from vari-ous combinations of alumina and silica-containing materials.These bricks can vary in chemical composition from almost100%alumina and little silica to almost 100%silica and littlealumina.It is therefore usefu
8、l to establish a classificationscheme based on physical properties and chemical analysis.One group,fireclay brick,is classified based on physicalproperties since some overlap of alumina and silica content canoccur.A second group,high-alumina brick,is classified pri-marily based on alumina content.Th
9、e classification allowsthose familiar with refractory materials to group similarproducts from various suppliers in a standard and consistentmanner.4.Basis of Classification4.1 Fireclay Brick are divided into five different classes:4.1.1 Super-duty,4.1.2 High-duty,4.1.3 Semi-silica,4.1.4 Medium-duty,
10、and4.1.5 Low-duty.4.2 The super-and high-duty classes are divided further intothree types under each class.4.3 High-Alumina Brick are divided into seven differentclasses by percent alumina:4.3.1 50,4.3.2 60,4.3.3 70,4.3.4 80,4.3.5 85,4.3.6 90,and4.3.7 99.5.Properties5.1 The properties required for c
