Magnesia chrome brick is a type of refractory brick made primarily from magnesia (MgO) and chrome oxide (Cr2O3). It is a basic refractory material, meaning it can withstand high temperatures and is resistant to corrosion from basic slags. These bricks are commonly used in high-temperature industrial applications like steelmaking, non-ferrous metal processing, and cement production.

Types of Magnesia Chrome Brick
Common Magnesia Chrome Brick
It is made from sintered magnesia and chrome ore, and sintered at high temperature, which is with higher bulk density and stronger thermal resistance than the magnesite brick, widely used in cement rotary kilns, glass kiln regenerators, permanent lining of steel furnace, and permanent lining of refining ladle.
Direct Bonded Magnesia-Chrome Brick
It is made from high purity magnesia and chromite materials and sintered under the high temperature in the tunnel kiln, it's widely used in the lining of the RH/DH vessel , cement rotary kiln, glass tank furnace, non-ferrous metal metallurgical furnace, AOD, VOD furnaces, etc.
Re-Bonded Magnesia- Chrome Brick
It is made from fully electro-fused MgO-Cr2O3 grain, and fired under more than 1700 ° C with weak oxidizing atmosphere. It's a high quality Magnesia Chrome product with excellent strength & volume stability at high temperature, excellent slag corrosion resistance and erosion resistance; widely used in second-refining furnance, like slag line of VOD and AOD, RH/DH's snorkels and regenerators of glass kiln ,etc.
Semi-Re-Bonded Magnesia-Chrome Brick
It is made from electro fused MgO-Cr2O3 grain, fused magnesia, chromite and some sintered MgO-Cr2O3 grain, then fired at high temperature. It has some characteristics both direct bonded and re-bonded, like dense inner structure, lower porosity, good high temperature strength, thermal shock resistance is better than re-bonded, slag erosion resistance better than direct bonded.
Advantages of Magnesia Chrome Brick
High Refractoriness
Magnesia chrome bricks can withstand very high temperatures without softening or deforming, making them suitable for demanding high-temperature applications like steelmaking furnaces.
01
Strong Resistance to Alkaline Slag
They are highly resistant to the corrosive effects of alkaline slags, which are commonly encountered in metallurgical processes.
02
Good Thermal Stability
Magnesia chrome bricks can withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles without significant damage, ensuring consistent performance over time.
03
High-Temperature Strength
They retain their mechanical strength at high temperatures, which is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of furnace linings.
04
Resistance to Erosion
Magnesia chrome bricks are resistant to wear and tear from moving materials or abrasive substances within the furnace.
05
Raw Material of Magnesia Chrome Brick
Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
60%–80%; provides refractoriness and resistance to alkaline erosion.
Chromium Oxide (Cr₂O₃)
10%–30%; enhances high-temperature strength, thermal shock resistance, and creep resistance.
Binder
5%–10% refractory clay or organic additives to ensure green body strength.
Magnesia Chrome Brick is mainly used in metallurgical industry, such as for building open-hearth furnace top, electric furnace top, finery out of furnace and all kinds of non-ferrous metal metallurgy furnace.
Fused cast magnesite chrome brick is adopted for high temperature position of furnace wall in electric furnace with ultra high power.
Magnesia chrome brick that made of synthetic compost is adopted for strong erosion area in finery out of furnace.
Fused cast magnesite chrome brick or magnesia chrome brick that made of synthetic compost is adopted for strong erosion area of nonferrous metals flash smelting furnace.
Besides, Magnesia Chrome Brick also can be used for burning zone in rotary cement kiln and regenerative chamber in glass furnace.
Process of Magnesia Chrome Brick

•Bonding Method: Clay serves as the bonding agent, reacting with MgO and Cr₂O₃ at high temperatures to form a ceramic bond-a relatively simple process.
•Sintering Temperature: Approximately 1500–1600°C, lower than that of directly bonded MgCr bricks.
Raw Material Preparation
•MgO: Usually sourced from magnesite (MgCO₃), producing lightly calcined magnesia (MgO ≥ 85%).
•Cr₂O₃: Obtained from calcined chromite (FeCr₂O₄), added at 10%–30%.
•Binder: Refractory clays (e.g., kaolin or bentonite) added at 5%–10%.
Dry Mixing
•Mix MgO, Cr₂O₃, and clay in specified proportions.
Wet Molding
•Add water or an organic binder (e.g., carboxymethyl cellulose), then press hydraulically at ~100–200 MPa.
Drying
•Dry in a tunnel dryer at 110–150°C for 24–48 hours.
Sintering
•Sinter in a rotary or shuttle kiln at 1500–1600°C for 2–4 hours.
•Key reaction: Clay reacts with MgO to form ceramic bonding phases (e.g., MgAl₂O₄).
Quality Inspection
•Test compressive strength, bulk density, apparent porosity, and thermal shock resistance.
Finished Product Packaging
•Bricks are packed with moisture-proof protection for safe transportation.
