KAS Series

Chroma-Spinel Composite Bricks (ALUKROM KAS)

The KAS series is MRL’s proven line of chroma–spinel composite bricks, manufactured from industrial chromia-corundum through high-pressure forming and high-temperature firing. The chroma-spinel phase within the matrix provides excellent high-temperature creep resistance, chemical stability, and outstanding slag-corrosion resistance, ensuring structural integrity and volumetric stability under severe conditions such as aggressive slags, alternating redox atmospheres, and thermal shock. KAS bricks are particularly suited for slag lines and critical working zones in non-ferrous smelting furnaces, delivering long, stable, and reliable service life in copper, zinc, and aluminum pyrometallurgical operations.

Application

  • Non-Ferrous & Metallurgy: Copper converters, flash smelting zones, slag lines and high-erosion areas in Zn/Al rotary kilns, Slag line and reaction zones of Cooper Smelting PS converters.

Non-Ferrous

Description

  • Spinel-reinforced matrix provides exceptional slag resistance and stability in acidic/alkaline atmospheres
  • High creep resistance at elevated temperatures with strong mechanical durability
  • High refractoriness under load (top grades >1700°C)
  • Stable microstructure and low porosity for extended high-temperature service
  • Excellent resistance to chemically aggressive furnace gases
  • Flexible Cr₂O₃–Al₂O₃ ratios to match different operating conditions
