Description

Fused magnesia is superior to deadburned magnesia in strength, abrasion resistance and chemical stability.

Fused magnesia particulates are conventionally produced in an electric arc furnace forming a solid ingot from the molten starting material which is thereafter mechanically crushed and ground by various means to a final desired particle size.

Fused Magnesite finds application as insulating material in tubular heating, elements in the electrical industry and refractory brick linings in steel furnaces. Fused Magnesite is mainly used as an insulating material in the electrical heating industry. The particulate material is packed into the space between the heating coil and the outer tube in a heating element for air or liquids. Such elements are used in IR heaters, grill elements, tubular hot plates, and tubular heating elements for ovens, storage heaters, radiators, continuous-flow heaters, washing machines, coffee machines, electric irons, and industrial liquid heating equipment.
