Chrome Corundum
Chrome corundum is an alumina-based refractory material containing chromia, valued for its corrosion and abrasion resistance.
Description
Produced by fusing or sintering alumina with controlled additions of Cr2O3, the material forms solid solutions that enhance chemical stability. It is used in zones exposed to slags, alkalis, or mechanical wear, subject to local environmental regulations for chromium compounds.
Applications
- Glass contact refractories and non-ferrous smelting zones
- Tundish and tap-hole components in metallurgical equipment
- High-wear surfaces in industrial kilns
Packaging
- Bagged or palletized with protective lining
- Product and batch labeling for traceability
- Avoid contamination and mechanical shock during transport
Storage
- Store dry and covered; limit exposure to humidity
- Keep packaging sealed until use
- Use FIFO to maintain uniform properties
