The fired magnesia brick has high load softening temperature and strong resistance to alkaline slag erosion. The fired magnesia bricks are mainly used for the lining of basic open hearth, wall and bottom of electric furnace, permanent lining of oxygen converter, mixer, non-ferrous smelting furnace, high temperature tunnel kiln, lining of rotary kiln for calcining magnesia and cement, upper lattice bricks of glass melting furnace, bottom and end of steel rolling soaking furnace and heating furnace.
