Hyper^™ (MgO-C) Bricks

Magnesia-Carbon Bricks

Magnesia-carbon (MgO-C) bricks are a novel technology developed via advanced microstructural engineering. MgO-C bricks enable the development of products with low porosity and reduced pore size, resulting in a significant improvement in corrosion resistance to corrosion and superior performance in demanding environments with highly corrosive slags.

Benefits
Applications

Hyper™ technology reduces requirements for gunning and hot casting repair, resulting in cost savings and a lower carbon footprint.

Higher mechanical resistance
Higher corrosion restance
Higher oxidation resistance
Lower hot repair needs

Basic Oxygen Furnace, Electric Arc Furnace and Steel Ladle

What are the main characteristics of the Saint-Gobain Hyper technology?

The Hyper technology presents products developed with an engineered matrix, which provides a more efficient compaction, resulting in a substantial reduction in the average pore size.

What are the main equipment where the Hyper technology could be used?

The Hyper^TM technology can be applied in BOF, EAF and steel ladles.

What benefits from Saint-Gobain Hyper technology could be added to my steelmaking equipment?

Because they have a smaller average pore size and compact matrix, the Hyper products have a higher resistance to corrosion, providing a superior performance compared to conventional products.
