Just what is the manufacturing process for making magnesia carbon bricks? If you are curious about this and have tried Google to find out, you have likely encountered serious disappointment with the results that were provided. Less than half of the first page of results were even relevant, which is rare for most modern keywords or search phrases, as there are now usually at least two pages of highly related content before you start seeing the links the search engine generates in response to a query start branching off into tangents or things people are trying to sell.
That’s not the case here, where it quickly devolves into ad links and commercial listings for those trying to sell magnesia carbon blocks. That’s fine if you’re looking to buy them and are just curious how they’re manufactured, but if you have to know how they’re made before you buy them, or you’re looking to know how to make them yourself, then this turns out to be the rare thing you actually can’t look up online all that easily.
Of the few links that actually discuss the process of manufacturing magnesia carbon bricks, the results are certainly far from trustworthy. Two of them are samplings from Google Books, which could have been scanned in and uploaded from anyone going years back. The credibility of the authors and trustworthiness of the content is simply too suspect to be useful, especially if you are serious about learning or replicating it yourself. Another page discusses it in some detail, but it’s quite technical, almost as if in some kind of chemical shorthand, so unless you’re already an industry professional, you’re unlikely to find the content accessible or attainable.
Perhaps most frustrating is that the top link, at the time of writing, which Google features as a snippet quote, is a page of broken English that simply makes no grammatical sense. Even the first sentence is broken and incomplete and a headache to read, so it is certainly not trustworthy.
Of course someone out there must know how to manufacture magnesia carbon bricks, otherwise they’d never have existed in the first place. A number of manufacturers continue to offer new materials to the markets that need them, and clearly they know how to make them. As such, if you’re truly intent on learning how to make them yourself, you might actually have to either go to work for someone that does make them already. Otherwise, your business might have to hire someone that has the knowledge on a personal level if you’re looking to start making them in your line of work.
The process of manufacturing magnesia carbon bricks is clearly something that not too many know how to do, nor are they inclined to advertise how to do it. The fewer suppliers there are, the less competition they face. Still, it’s not a conspiracy or a heavily protected trade secret. In truth, it’s just a niche market with a technical process not known to enough for someone to put it on Google like a recipe anyone else can follow.
