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.
Most magnesite bricks today fail for two reasons: inconsistent raw materials and rushed firing cycles. We still take the time to hand-select magnesite deposits and fire each batch slowly - sometimes taking twice as long as competitors. The result? Bricks that don't spall after six months in your basic oxygen furnace.
Last year, a steel mill in Nagoya replaced their existing bricks with ours. Twelve months later, their maintenance foreman called to say it was the first time in memory they hadn't needed emergency repairs during winter production. That's the difference proper materials make.
If you're doing your annual refractory review, let's have an honest conversation. Email Yuki at yuki@okgminerals.com with your current brick performance data. We'll show you what our magnesite can do in your specific application - no sales talk, just facts from decades of solving real furnace problems.
