High-Alumina Castable LA-60
Material System & Positioning
High-Alumina Castable LA-60 is a monolithic high-alumina refractory made from sintered bauxite chamotte aggregate with a low-cement or phosphate bond, fine powders and dispersants. With Al₂O₃ content of at least 60%, it combines good workability with high cold and hot strength. As the general-purpose grade of Henan Songrui New Refractory Materials Co., Ltd., it serves medium-high temperature furnace linings up to 1600℃ across steel, power, cement, glass and ceramics industries.
Key Performance
- High refractoriness: bauxite chamotte aggregate, service up to 1600℃.
- Dense structure: optimized grading and fine powder packing give dense body; CCS (110℃×24h) ≥60 MPa.
- Good thermal shock resistance: resists cracking and spalling under temperature fluctuation, ideal for batch furnaces.
- Stable volume: PLC (1500℃×3h) within ±0.5%.
- Cost-effective: economical for large linings and medium-temperature zones.
- Easy installation: vibration casting with stable on-site workability.
Applications
LA-60 is the most versatile high-alumina grade:
- Steel & Iron: hot blast stove walls and ducts, mixer ladle and hot metal ladle permanent layers, reheating furnace hearth/walls/burner zones, soaking and annealing furnaces.
- Power Boilers: CFB dense-phase zone, cyclone separator inlet ducts, burner zones and refractory belts.
- Cement: kiln hood, cooler walls, preheater cyclone linings.
- Glass & Ceramics: lower regenerator walls, roller kiln chamber linings.
Selection Advice
LA-60 suits medium-temperature heavy-duty zones up to 1600℃ with thermal cycling. For higher temperatures, stronger slag or erosion, upgrade to low-cement or ultra-low-cement grades; for insulation only, choose lightweight high-alumina castable. Henan Songrui can assist zoned selection across the LA series for the best balance of life and cost.
Installation & Maintenance
Control water strictly, force-mix 3-5 min, vibrate-cast, cure moist 24-48h, then heat up slowly per the drying curve. On-site guidance and drying curves are provided.
