SMK Series

Semi-Rebonded Magnesia-Chrome Bricks (KROMAG SMK)

The SMK Series is MRL’s specialized line of semi-rebonded magnesia-chrome bricks, designed to provide a balanced combination of slag resistance and thermal shock durability. Manufactured using fused magnesia-chrome aggregates, premium magnesite, and chromite concentrates, these bricks are fired in ultra-high temperature tunnel kilns to achieve a dense, stable microstructure. SMK bricks are engineered for harsh metallurgical conditions where both chemical corrosion and thermal fluctuation are present, particularly in non-ferrous metallurgy and steel ladle refining processes.

Application

  • Non-Ferrous & Metallurgy: Working linings and slag lines in flash furnaces, PS converters, anode furnaces, Kaldo furnaces, tilting furnaces, and reverberatory furnaces.
  • Steelmaking: Ladle refining systems, especially in working and slag line zones where both erosion and thermal cycling are critical.

Non-Ferrous, Steel

Description

  • Excellent resistance to copper slag, blister copper, and aggressive gas atmospheres
  • Superior thermal shock resistance and structural stability under dynamic thermal loads
  • Low apparent porosity and high bulk density ensure long service life
  • Suitable for high-wear zones such as slag lines, tuyere areas, and nozzles
  • Enhanced grades available for tailored use under specific metallurgical demands
