Description

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.

Quality Assurance

Henan Songrui New Refractory Materials Co., Ltd., located in Xuanhua Town Industrial Park, Henan Province, operates a complete monolithic refractory production line with a physical & chemical testing laboratory; the company is a 2024 Class A taxpayer and an SRDI (specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative) SME. Every batch of LA-60 is strictly inspected before delivery. For technical data, quotation or installation guidance, contact Manager Zheng (17513376789 / 17513376789@163.com).

Key Features

  • Bauxite chamotte aggregate for high refractoriness in medium-high temperature linings
  • Low-cement bonding for denser structure than ordinary high-alumina castables
  • Vibration casting with stable workability on site
  • Good thermal shock resistance against cracking and spalling
  • Cost-effective for large linings and medium-temperature zones
  • Supported by construction guidance and drying curves

Typical Applications

High-alumina castable LA-60 is the most versatile high-alumina grade, widely used in medium-high temperature industrial furnaces:

  • Steel & Iron: hot blast stove and duct linings, mixer ladle and ladle permanent layers, reheating furnace hearth, walls and burner zones, soaking and annealing furnaces.
  • Power Boilers: CFB boiler dense-phase zone, cyclone separator inlet ducts, pulverized coal boiler burner zones.
  • Cement: rotary kiln kiln hood, cooler walls, preheater cyclone linings.
  • Glass & Ceramics: glass furnace regenerator lower section, roller kiln chamber linings.
  • General: service temperature up to 1600℃, ideal for medium-temperature heavy-duty zones with thermal cycling.

FAQs

What is the maximum service temperature of high-alumina castable LA-60?

LA-60 has a maximum service temperature of 1600℃ with Al₂O₃ ≥60%, suitable for reheating furnaces, hot blast stoves and boiler hearths.

What is the difference between LA-60 and low-cement high-alumina castable?

LA-60 uses conventional or low-cement bonding, balancing cost and workability; low-cement grade has lower CaO, higher density, better hot strength and slag resistance for harsher conditions.

Which furnace zones are suitable for LA-60?

Suitable for hot blast stoves, mixer ladles and ladle permanent layers, reheating furnace hearths and burner zones, CFB boiler dense-phase zones up to 1600℃.

How to install and heat-up LA-60 correctly?

Mix with forced mixer for 3-5 min, vibrate-cast, cure moist for 24-48h, then follow the heat-up curve slowly. On-site guidance is available.
