The basic Introduction of Chromium corundum know as ruby

Chromium Corundum is mainly composed of??-Al2O3-Cr2O3 strong remedy, and the secondary a single is fire-resistance brick with small quantity of spinel (or no spinel) and chromic oxide, that is only 1%-30% of all. The chromium corundum is two kinds, a single casting chromium corundum brick plus the other sintering chromium corundum brick. Commonly, the chromium corundum brick is sintering chromium corundum brick. This sort of brick is created of??-Al2O3, adding proper amount of powder of chromic oxide and chromium corundum beneath the condition of higher temperature. The quantity of chromic oxide in sintering chromium corundum brick is generally less than that in casting a single. An additional process to create the chromium corundum brick is to adopt slip casting that the workers mix the??-Al2O3 powder with chromic oxide uniformly, and add peptizer and organic binder until the state is thickened slurry, meanwhile, they should add some chromium corundum in to the thickened slurry. Soon after that the adobe may be formed and then sintered.

The chromium corundum brick is utilized in a lot of fields like the glass furnace lining, cover brick for drawing glass flow hole and backing for hot metal pretreatment equipment, Waste incinerators, and coal-water slurry gasifiers.

To tell the truth, chromium corundum is often seen in many exhibitions due to the fact red corundum is mostly composed of ??- alumina, also known as chromium corundum, ruby. Now there is most artificial red corundum on the marketplace. French chemist Framy fused the raw material like pure aluminum powder, potassium carbonate, barium fluoride and potassium dichromate for 8days in high temperature in crucibles to obtain tiny particles of ruby crystals, that is the beginning on the artificial ruby. In 1900, scientists have utilised melt aluminum oxide with adding a small level of Chromium Oxide, Cr2O3, in proportion of 0.7%, to produce out of 2g ~~ 4g ruby. Now, it has been in a position to manufacture rubies and sapphires big adequate to reach 10g. There was some high-quality artificial ruby in Geneva and Switzerland in 1885. It was stated that the particles of ruby with potassium dichromate which will increase the red effect, when the mixed things have been sintered in high temperature, the top quality was precisely the same as natural ruby. Nonetheless, that the artificial ruby might be produced in big mode has to be contributed to French chemist Verneuil. He made the artificial ruby officially in 1904, that is the milestone in the manufacture history of ruby, chromium corundum. Due to the substantial scale of production, chromium corundum is gradually entering the luxury fields.
