After thirty years of watching furnaces fail prematurely, we at Okayama Giken decided to do something about it. Our magnesite bricks aren't revolutionary - they're just made the right way, like refractory materials used to be made before everyone started cutting corners.
In the field of industrial materials, black silicon carbide has become a functional material that cannot be ignored due to its high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Its unique crystal structure gives it excellent physical properties, playing a key role in multiple application scenarios such as abrasives and refractory materials, showing strong industrial practical value.
Ceramic materials are inorganic non-metallic materials made from non-metallic oxides, borates, silicates, and other raw materials. Ceramic materials are hard and brittle materials made through molding, sintering, and other processes. Ceramic material usually has excellent wear resistance, high temperature resistance, insulation, chemical stability and other characteristics, and is therefore widely used in fields such as ceramic products, building materials, electronic components, chemical equipment.
In recent years, refractory manufacturers in Europe and Southeast Asia have expressed concerns about inconsistent results when using Silicon Carbide (SiC) materials in monolithic refractories, precast parts, and self-flowing castables. At the heart of the problem are factors such as poor particle size distribution, high impurity content, and unstable sintering behavior. Okayama Giken Minerals provides custom grades of high-purity SiC with customized SiC specifications, guaranteed low impurity content, and real-time tracking of product performance reactions to ensure product performance, production efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Refractory raw material prices from China, including Silicon Carbide (SiC), Fused Magnesia (FM), White/Brown Fused Alumina (WFA/BFA), and High Alumina Cement, are entering a volatile pricing phase — creating both challenges and opportunities for buyers.
