Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the composition and microstructure of silica bricks and the changes they undergo when fired repeatedly at high temperatures. Historically, silica bricks have been integral to industries ranging from steelmaking to glass production, and their quality and durability are crucial. The author meticulously examines the different forms of silica - quartz, tridymite, and cristobalite - and their stability at varying temperatures. They reveal the role of lime as a flux to accelerate certain transformations while highlighting its minimal contribution to the brick's cohesion. Ultimately, the book elucidates the impact of these transformations on the brick's expansion, strength, and spalling tendency, providing valuable insights for both manufacturers and users of silica bricks.
