Ladle & Furnace Bricks
Magnesia-Calcia Brick
Magnesia brick with a deliberate free-lime content. The CaO is not an impurity here but the working principle: it reacts with alumina and silica inclusions in the melt and takes them into the slag, so the lining actively cleans the steel instead of merely resisting it.
