Dolomite Refractory Bricks

Refractory bricks derived from fired dolomite with high CaO and MgO content exceeding 50%, used in steel ladles and electric arc furnaces. These provide basic slag resistance essential for secondary steelmaking. HTS 6902.10.50.00 covers these as 'other' high Mg/Ca oxide refractories.
