Joe Davidson Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 hey everyone, I've got my hands on some Hebel, which is some Autoclaved aerated concrete... apparently. What I know about it is just what Wikipedia could tell me and in there it says that it is a high thermal insulator. With this in mind is it possible for this then to be used as a fire brick or something or the nature? Thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knots Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I first saw this building material in Germany in 1998. Interesting stuff but not a refractory material. It is just a high tech concrete block. Its development came out of the need to build un-furred, insulated, masonry walls. Hebel markets this material internationally. If you really want to know about it call a distributor and talk to a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Concrete is not rated for forge or furnace use. It will start to degrade long before any useful temperatures are reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
