The invention discloses a
silicon mullite brick capable of being filled with a
thermal insulation material and a production process thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
refractory material production. The
silicon mullite brick comprises a
surface layer, a middle layer and an inner layer from outside to inside, the
surface layer contains tabular
corundum and
silicon carbide micro
powder, the middle layer contains
mullite hollow balls, pre-sintered
kyanite and nano-zirconia, the inner layer contains aluminum
oxide hollow balls, floating beads and
silicon carbide whiskers, and three-dimensional through pore channels are formed inside the silicon mullite
brick. The pore channels are filled with
silicon dioxide aerogel and
ceramic fiber composite heat insulation materials, and the
filling rate is larger than or equal to 85%. The production process comprises the steps of
gradient material distribution, composite forming, in-situ foaming, vacuum impregnation strengthening, fluctuation
sintering strengthening and the like. Through gradient
composite structure design and multi-process cooperation, a three-dimensional functional partition is constructed, high-density filling and
structural stability of the heat insulation material are achieved,
mechanical strength and heat insulation performance are balanced,
thermal shock resistance is remarkably improved, the service life is remarkably prolonged, and a novel
refractory material is provided for high-temperature
industrial equipment.
