Ladle Porous Plugs are the most critical functional element in the bottom argon blowing process for molten steel refining, and their use conditions are very harsh. Ladle Porous Plugs can be divided into two types according to the assembly method: internal integral Porous Plugs and External combination Porous Plugs. The Porous Plugs’ core needs to be protected by supporting brick. At present, the well blocks for ladle are generally casted and used directly after curing, drying, and baking. The well blocks mainly undergo the following effects during use. (1) The brick working face is repeatedly subjected to rapid cooling and heating, which easily causes the brick to break and peel off. (2) Corroded and penetrated by molten steel and slag. (3) It is strongly scoured and worn by high-temperature molten steel. Therefore, it is required that the well blocks for ladle should have high strength, good thermal shock resistance, and excellent slag erosion resistance.

The well blocks for ladle often appear cracks, transverse fractures, and block-dropping phenomena during use. It seriously affects its service life, and improving its thermal shock resistance is an important way to increase its service life. At present, there are many kinds of research on Porous Plugs, but not much researches on well blocks for the ladle. In this work, the effect of cement addition on the performance of corundum spinel ladles Porous Plugs was studied. It is expected to increase the service life of the Porous Plugs block, enhance its safety factor, and meet the requirements of steelmaking plants.

The effect of cement addition on the performance of ladle Porous Plugs and well blocks

(1) With the increase of cement addition, the normal temperature flexural strength and compressive strength of the sample after drying at 110°C gradually increase. The normal temperature flexural strength and compressive strength of the sample after being burned at 1560°C first increase, then decrease, and then increase. The linear change after burning first increases and then decreases. When the cement content is 6% (w), the strength is lowest. The apparent porosity and linear change rate after firing are the largest, and its performance is the worst.
(2) With the increase of cement addition, after three thermal shocks after water cooling at 1100°C, the strength retention rate of the sample after firing at 1560°C gradually increases, and the thermal shock resistance is improved. When the mass fraction of cement is 10%, the thermal shock resistance is the best.
(3) The anti-burst performance of the samples added with an anti-explosion agent is obviously improved. Especially the anti-explosive effect of sodium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate + polypropylene organic fiber composite is the best.
(4) The service life of high-purity corundum spinel bottom-blown argon-blown ventilating bricks with a cement addition amount of 6%-10% (w) and a compound explosion-proof agent has been increased from the original average of 31 times to an average of 36 times.

Comparison of performance of chrome corundum Porous Plugs block and corundum-spinel Porous Plugs block

Chrome corundum, as a traditional material for ladle Porous Plugs block, has played a very important role for a long time. Due to the insufficient performance of traditional chrome corundum bricks in thermal shock resistance, it is prone to cracks during use. It is very easy for molten steel to invade the brick body along the gas inlet that produces cracks, forming molten steel penetration, which will seriously affect the effect of argon blowing. In addition, chromium can also pollute the environment. Therefore, chrome corundum Porous Plugs block have been gradually replaced by corundum spinel Porous Plugs block with better performance. However, chromium corundum Porous Plugs blocks are better than corundum-spinel Porous Plugs blocks in terms of body stability and resistance to slag penetration.

Performance Comparison of Chrome Corundum Brick and Corundum-Spinel Brick

The material of chromium corundum is a sintered tabular corundum with compact structure, low porosity, and easy sintering as the main raw material. There are some differences in the performance of the two types of Porous Plugs blocks. Generally speaking, the volume density of the corundum-spinel Porous Plugs block is smaller than that of chrome corundum Porous Plugs block under the same particle size gradation. The porosity of corundum-spinel brick is lower than that of chrome corundum brick. This is because, during the firing process, the swelling of the body caused by the formation of spinel offsets part of the shrinkage caused by the fine powder, resulting in a decrease in porosity. On the other hand, the linear change rate of the corundum-spinel Porous Plugs block is slightly larger than that of the chrome corundum Porous Plugs block. That is to say, the volume stability of corundum-spinel Porous Plugs blocks is not as good as that of chrome corundum bricks, mainly because magnesia alumina spinel is generated during the firing of corundum-spinel Porous Plugs blocks.

Since the slits of slit-type Porous Plugs blocks are relatively narrow, generally about 200 μm. If the volume of the Porous Plugs block changes greatly during the firing process, it will affect the size of the slits, and ultimately affect the air permeability and blowing effect. As a result, the performance of the Porous Plugs block is reduced during the use, the blowing rate is reduced, and even the blowing is blocked. Since the thermal shock stability of the spinel is better than that of corundum, the thermal shock stability of the corundum-spinel Porous Plugs block is better than that of chrome corundum Porous Plugs block. The corrosion index of the two slag resistance is the same, but the slag penetration resistance of the chrome corundum brick is stronger than that of the corundum-spinel brick.

Generally speaking, corundum-spinel Porous Plugs blocks are better than traditional chrome corundum Porous Plugs blocks in terms of performance. The traditional chrome corundum Porous Plugs block has been gradually replaced by it. Corundum-spinel Porous Plugs blocks are gradually becoming the mainstream ladle Porous Plugs blocks today.

Non-Burning Bricks for Ladle

Non-burning bricks for ladle include alumina-magnesia bricks, alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks, and magnesia-alumina-carbon bricks. The difference between their fired bricks is that they use water glass or phenolic resin as the bonding agent and undergo low-temperature treatment after molding. During the use of non-fired bricks for ladle, the alumina and magnesia in the matrix form spinel, and the carbon in the graphite and resin binder forms a carbon chain network structure. Therefore, the strength, slag resistance, and thermal shock resistance of refractory bricks for ladle are further improved. To get the price of refractory bricks for ladle for free, please contact Rongsheng refractory brick manufacturer. Next is the introduction of unburned bricks for a ladle.

Alumina-Magnesia Brick and Alumina-Magnesia-Carbon Brick

First of all, let’s learn about the non-burning bricks for ladle combined with water glass, including alumina-magnesia brick and alumina-magnesia-carbon brick. The aggregate of the alumina-magnesia brick is generally first-grade bauxite, and the powder is super-grade bauxite clinker powder and first-grade magnesia powder. Use high modulus water glass as the bonding agent. After pressing, the finished product is treated at a low temperature of 150°C. The refractory brick is used on the large and medium-sized die-cast ladle, and its life span is generally 60 to 90 times.

Alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks are successfully manufactured on the basis of alumina-magnesia bricks and magnesia-carbon bricks, and the production process is similar to that of magnesia-carbon bricks. Water glass is combined with alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks, and primary and secondary alumina clinker is used as a refractory aggregate. The first-grade or super-grade high-alumina powder is used as refractory powder, and 8%~13% of the first and second-grade metallurgical magnesia powder is blended. The carbon material adopts electrode powder, earthy graphite, or flake graphite, the amount of which is 3%~8%, and the water glass solution (m=2.4~3.0) is used as the binding agent. After forming, the finished product is processed at a low temperature of 200~250℃. The refractoriness of the water glass bonded alumina-magnesia-carbon brick is 1770℃, and the 4% load softening temperature is 1320~1340℃, which is caused by more Na2O in the binder. If high modulus sodium silicate is used to bring in less Na2O, the load softening temperature will increase to 1410℃, and the refractoriness will be 1790℃. This kind of refractory brick is widely used in medium and small ladle due to its better performance and low price. The refractory brick is applied to the mold-cast ladle, and the slag line area is built with magnesia carbon bricks, and its life span is 50-100 times.

Resin-Bonded Alumina Magnesia Carbon Brick

The raw materials of resin-bonded alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks use first-grade or super-grade bauxite clinker, white corundum, sub white corundum, and magnesia-alumina spinel as aggregates and powders. The magnesia powder is made of high-quality sintered magnesia or fused magnesia with Mg>95%, and mixed with flake graphite, high-quality silicon carbide and alumina powder or SiO2 powder. The phenolic resin binder is used for high-pressure molding, and the bricks are then processed at a low temperature of about 200°C to become the finished product. The refractory brick has the advantages of excellent strength, corrosion resistance, peeling resistance, thermal shock resistance, and non-sticky slag. However, the thermal conductivity is relatively large, and heat insulation measures must be taken during use.

It is better to directly add an alumina-magnesia spinel compound fired material into the alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks than doping with magnesium oxide. Because magnesia oxide can form spinel with alumina during use. Synthetic alumina-magnesia spinel should generally be sintered in a rotary kiln at a temperature greater than 1600°C. The higher the temperature, the better the quality. Its bulk density is 2.95~3.10g/cm3, and its content of alumina and magnesia should be greater than 91%. The fused magnesia-alumina spinel is more expensive. To ensure the quality of refractory bricks, suitable magnesia-alumina spinel should be selected.

Resin-bonded alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks have been widely used in the continuous casting ladle of many steel plants. On the 50-100t steel ladle for continuous casting, mid-grade alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks are used as lining. The slag line area is built with high-quality magnesia carbon bricks, and the service life is generally 50 to 80 times, up to 100 times.

In the 1990s, a large number of high-quality alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks and magnesia-carbon bricks for slag line areas were used in the lining of refining furnaces. The service life of the refining bag is more than 30 times, and the service life of LF(V) of 40~90t is about 50 times.

Magnesia Alumina Carbon Brick

The production process of magnesia-alumina-carbon brick and alumina-magnesia-carbon brick is basically the same. It is the pre-synthetic spinel mixed with fused magnesia, and the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the two forms micro-cracks during high temperature and cooling use to buffer the thermal stress generated by temperature changes and reduce thermal spalling. Because the elastic modulus of spinel (MA) and periclase (M) are quite different, the former (0.012~0.022)×106MPa, the latter (0.059~0.49)×106MPa. Tough spinel helps to improve the thermal shock resistance of refractory bricks. In addition, the carbon material is added to the periclase-spinel, and about 10% graphite is added. After making it evenly distributed in the refractory brick body, the carbon atoms form a staggering network structure at high temperature, so that the material has a good high-temperature performance. In addition, graphite has high surface tension and a small wetting angle, which can effectively prevent the penetration of molten slag.

For example magnesia-alumina-carbon bricks for 75t LF lining of a steel plant. MgO 71%, Al2O3 13%, C 10%, apparent porosity 3%, bulk density 3.08g/cm3, compressive strength 50MPa, high temperature flexural strength (1400°C) 8MPa. The slag line uses high-quality MgO-C bricks, with a service life of more than 50 furnaces.

Development of Refractory Materials for Ladle Lining

The ladle is an extremely important metallurgical equipment in the steelmaking process. Its role is not only the ladle for carrying molten steel in the traditional sense but also the core carrier of the refining process outside the furnace. The choice of Refractory Materials for Ladle Lining is not only related to the life and cost of the ladle but also directly affects the output and cleanliness of molten steel. Let’s look at the use and development of refractory materials for ladle lining in a steel plant in the past 20 years.

Development of refractory materials for ladle lining

According to a steel mill, they have 3 types of the ladle. In the order of commissioning, they are 120 t ladle, 150 t ladle, and new 150 t ladle, of which the new 150 t ladle is modified from the original 40 t ladle. The refractory materials used in different ladles are different due to different specific production requirements.

40 t ladle

Initially, the lining of the 40t ladle was entirely made of alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks, the thickness of the bottom bricks was 300 mm, and the thickness of the wall was 120 mm. Due to the shortcomings of alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks such as thermal shock stability and poor high-temperature strength, the life of the 40 t ladle bottom is only about 40 furnaces, which cannot be synchronized with the body bricks. Later, magnesia-carbon bricks were used for the bottom of the bag, and alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks were used for the wall and slag line, and the overall service life reached more than 100 furnaces.

120 t ladle

At the initial stage of production, the Refractory Materials for Ladle Lining of 120t ladle is made of alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks, the thickness of the bottom brick is 300 mm, and the thickness of the wall brick is 160 mm. In the early stage, the life of the ladle can be up to 90 furnaces when it is cast directly on the ladle. After the application of the refining process, as the refining ratio continues to increase, the life of the ladle is significantly reduced. The main reason is that the electrodes of the LF refining furnace heat up the molten steel and slag near the slag line, and the alumina-magnesia bricks are quickly melted and lost at high temperatures. In addition, refining will extend the residence time of molten steel in the ladle and also accelerate the erosion of alumina-magnesia bricks. Beginning in 2009, full magnesia carbon bricks have been used in 120t ladle. Magnesia carbon bricks have excellent slag resistance and high-temperature stability, and their service life can reach more than 110 furnaces in a smelting environment with a high refining ratio.

150 t ladle

Steel grades such as cold-rolled plates for automotive plates produced by the 150 t converter system have strict requirements on the carbon content and cleanliness of the molten steel. Therefore, from the initial stage of production, the 150 t ladle has adopted the process route of ladle bottom, clad wall alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks, and slag line magnesia-carbon bricks. At the same time, considering the CAS furnace process, the breathable brick is set in the center of the bottom of the bag, just in the molten steel impact area, and the molten steel has a serious impact on the breathable brick. In addition, due to the poor high-temperature performance of the alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks, the bottom working lining and the air-permeable bricks are severely broken. The life of the ladle is only about 70 furnaces, which cannot meet the needs of production rhythm. Later, magnesia carbon bricks were also used at the bottom of the package, and the problem of broken bricks and excessive melting loss at the bottom of the package was improved.

Application of Carbon-free Lining Materials

After a series of technical optimizations, the steel plant’s refractory materials for ladle are basically finalized. That is, magnesia-carbon bricks with 14% C mass fraction are used for the bottom and slag line, the walls are made of alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks combined with lignosulfonate, and the permanent layer is made of alumina-magnesia castable. The ladle of this material can basically meet the production rhythm of converters and continuous casting at that time. The three bricks and slag line bricks are replaced once every 20-30 furnaces are used, and the slag line bricks are replaced 1 to 2 times during the entire service process. With the development and production adjustment of various steels, the proportion of refining outside the ladle furnace is getting higher and higher. Low-carbon and ultra-low-carbon automobile panels have strict requirements on the carbon content of the lining. Traditional linings can no longer meet the production needs, so carbon-free linings have emerged.

Since 2015, steel plants have tested corundum spinel-based carbon-free materials on 150t ladle and will be promoted throughout the plant in 2016. The upgraded ladle bottom and wall are corundum spinel bricks, and the slag line uses improved magnesia-carbon bricks with 14% C mass fraction.

Corundum Spinel Bricks

The corundum spinel brick is developed under the background of the leapfrog development of refractory raw material production technology. It is a comprehensive upgraded product of alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks. The main raw materials are fused corundum, sintered corundum, fused magnesia fine powder, Al2O3 powder, alumina-magnesia spinel powder, pure calcium aluminate cement, and additives. It has the advantages of good high-temperature stability, strong corrosion-resistance, and high matrix strength.

There are 2 types of corundum spinel brick, organic pressed brick and prefabricated block. The former uses lignosulfonate as the binding agent, and the latter uses cement or alumina gel as the binding agent. The ladle built with prefabricated blocks has a better actual use effect. The machine-made bricks are easy to peel off on the upper part of the bag wall and the bricks are easy to break in the impact area of the bottom of the bag. The main reason is that the machine-made brick fine powder and aggregate are forcibly pressed together by the brick press. During use, the spinel reaction volume expands, which will cause the matrix to crack and become loose. In addition, the critical size of the machine-made brick aggregate is smaller than that of the prefabricated block, and the thermal stress caused by the temperature difference between the hot end and the cold end of the bottom-clad brick can easily break the brick body with a thickness of 300mm. The thermal strength of the prefabricated block is higher than that of the machine-made brick, so the bottom of the prefabricated block is not prone to faults.

The main phases of alumina-magnesia machine-made bricks are corundum, periclase, and mullite. The main phases of corundum spinel machine-made bricks are corundum, periclase, spinel, and α-Al2O3 micro powder. The main phases of the corundum spinel prefabricated block are corundum, spinel, α-Al2O3, and tricalcium aluminate. For details, please see Figure 2.

Figure 2 XRD patterns of alumina-magnesia machine-made brick (B1), corundum spinel machine-made brick (B2), and prefabricated block (B3)

The corundum spinel prefabricated block has two binder systems. One is pure calcium aluminate cement and alumina-rich spinel powder. The other is a gel combination system of ρ-Al2O3 gel, fused magnesia fine powder, and SiO2 fine powder. The prefabricated block of the cement-spinel system has the characteristics of high thermal strength, small volume expansion, and strong erosion resistance, and is suitable for use in the bottom working layer of the package. The prefabricated block of the gel-magnesia fine powder system has good slag resistance and thermal shock performance due to the in-situ generation of magnesia-alumina spinel and is suitable for the working lining of the clad molten pool. Starting in 2018, the steel plant eliminated corundum spinel machine-made bricks. All prefabricated blocks are used for the bottom and wall of the bag, and the melting loss of the working lining is effectively reduced.

High-performance Slag Line Magnesia Carbon Brick

The proportion of LF refining in steel plants is as high as 60%. Some steel grade liquid slags have low basicity, low viscosity, and thin slag layer. These process characteristics bring great challenges to the slag line working layer. The slag line material before 2015 was ordinary magnesia carbon brick, and the main raw materials were ordinary fused magnesia, antioxidant, flake graphite, and phenolic resin. Its corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance are not strong, and the melting rate is very fast. In accordance with the characteristics of the refining process of the steel plant, the magnesia carbon brick formula has been greatly adjusted since 2016. Use 98 fused magnesia as an aggregate and fine powder to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesia carbon bricks. Partially modified graphite is used to replace flake graphite and a nano-carbon source is introduced, which significantly improves the thermal shock resistance and mechanical properties of magnesia carbon bricks. The overall performance of the slag line magnesia carbon brick has been greatly improved.

In recent years, the changes in the physical and chemical properties of ladle slag line bricks are shown in Table 3. Since 2012, the magnesia carbon brick formula has been adjusted three times to improve the grade of magnesia. Improve the performance of graphite, reduce the high-temperature flexural strength to improve corrosion resistance.

Table 3 Ladle slag line magnesia carbon brick — Table 3 Comparison of physical and chemical properties of magnesia carbon bricks in the ladle slag line in recent years.

Optimization of Permanent Layer Refractory Materials

Before 2016, the permanent layer material used in steel mills’ ladle was traditional alumina-magnesia castable. The mass fraction of alumina is 65% to 70%, and the mass fraction of magnesium oxide is 8% to 10%. The material has the advantages of low cost and good volume stability at medium temperature. However, long-term use in a medium and low-temperature environment has serious attenuation of strength (hereinafter referred to as thermal attenuation), and the problem of poor volume stability at high temperatures is more obvious. In addition, alumina-magnesia castables are heavy materials with high bulk density and large thermal conductivity, which are not conducive to the development of lightweight ladle and the improvement of thermal insulation.

Beginning in 2017, high-alumina castables have been used on the ladle, with a bulk density of 2.453 ~ 2.55g/cm3. It not only guarantees the safety of the permanent layer but also takes into account the heat preservation. Due to the limited crane lifting capacity of the 120t converter smelting system, it is necessary to design a more lightweight ladle permanent layer material. Finally, mullite castable was used, and its bulk density was 2.0～2.1g/cm3. After laboratory tests and field tests, the two new permanent layer materials are significantly better than alumina-magnesia castables in terms of medium and high-temperature strength, volume stability, and corrosion resistance (see Table 4).

Table 4 Comparison of permanent layer pouring and cooking performance

Development Trend of Refractory Materials for Ladle Lining

The general development trend of ladle refractories is to reduce consumption and improve cleanliness. Reducing consumption not only refers to reducing the cost of refractory materials per ton of steel in ladle but also requires reducing the consumption of refractory materials per ton of steel. The purpose is to reduce the pollution of refractory materials to molten steel. To improve cleanliness, on the one hand, use anti-melting lining materials, on the other hand, select non-carbon materials, calcium materials, and other refractory materials that do not pollute molten steel to meet the requirements of producing high-grade clean steel. The next stage of the development direction of steel mill ladle refractories is mainly the following aspects. (1) The permanent layer promotes high-strength and light-weight materials to improve the thermal insulation of the ladle. (2) Promote the whole pouring scheme of the working lining to improve the service life. (3) Establish an information platform for online monitoring of steel ladle, and improve operational safety by implementing safety monitoring.

Several Different Types of “T” Refractory Bricks

T19 refractory bricks also called ax bricks. The size of the T19 mullite brick is 230×114×65/55mm. The country stipulates the size of bricks in order to facilitate calculation and save resources. There are many types of refractory bricks, and their shapes and sizes are quite complicated, but they all stipulate a unified brick number. People with rich experience and knowledge of refractory bricks can know its purpose, even shape, size, and weight from the brick number. For example, bricks with the prefix “T” are commonly used in general industrial furnaces. From “T-1” to “T-105”, there are more than 20 shapes and 105 brick numbers (specifications). Another example is the bricks with the prefix “G” are used for blast furnaces. There are two shapes and 8 specifications from “G-1” to “G-8”.

Corundum Bricks on the Tapping Channel of the Heating Furnace

In the small and medium-sized steel rolling heating furnace with side discharge, the tapping trough is an important part of the heating furnace. The structure of the tapping trough is directly related to the energy consumption and service life of the heating furnace. Because corundum bricks such as chrome corundum bricks and zirconia corundum bricks have good high temperature wear resistance and slag resistance. As a result, it has gradually replaced water-cooled cast iron tapping channels and has been widely used in small and medium-sized steel rolling furnaces. Rongsheng refractories manufacturer provides you with high-quality refractories for steel rolling furnaces, such as corundum bricks on the tapping channel, etc.

Factors Affecting the Service Life of Corundum Bricks on the Tapping Channel

In actual production, improper construction and use often reduce the service life of corundum bricks on the tapping channel of the heating furnace. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze the factors that affect the service life of corundum bricks and discuss measures to improve the service life of corundum bricks. To analyze the service life of corundum bricks on the tapping channel of the heating furnace, it is necessary to conduct a dialectical analysis from the characteristics of the corundum brick itself and the working conditions of the tapping channel of the heating furnace.

(1) Due to the high density of corundum bricks, thermal stability is poor. Therefore, it is easy to burst when the temperature changes sharply, especially near the tap hole. When the furnace pressure fluctuates frequently, the door of the furnace may burst into flames and sometimes suck cold air. As a result, the surface temperature of the corundum bricks fluctuates up and down, forming large internal stress. This causes the surface of the corundum brick to peel off and crack.

(2) The gap between the corundum bricks is not tightly sealed, and the oxide scale or its melt enters the gap and adheres to the upper oxide scale, forming a solid whole with the corundum brick. As a result, it is difficult to remove the oxide scale on the surface, and it must be removed with a big steel hammer. Doing so is easy to cause damage to the corundum brick, often cracked or knocked off.

(3) The masonry of the refractory bricks at the bottom of the corundum bricks must be smooth, and castables can be used to level them when they are uneven. It is not allowed to use loose thermal insulation materials, and it is not allowed to pay only part of it. In other words, the corundum bricks must be cushioned with hard refractory materials. Only in this way can it be ensured that the corundum bricks will not loosen when the billet slides on the corundum bricks. The loosening of corundum bricks will cause two undesirable consequences. One is to make the upper surface of the corundum bricks uneven, which affects the sliding of the billet and the elimination of oxide scale and reduces its service life. Second, the gaps filled with magnesia powder appear again due to the loosening of the corundum bricks, and the oxide scale will fall into it, which will cause difficulty in removing the oxide scale and reduce the service life of the tapping trough.

(4) Avoid “cutting” of corundum bricks by continuous casting billets. Most of the small and medium-sized steel billets have irregular shear sections. If the billet moves in the direction of the tapping channel, the surface of the corundum brick will be cut, which reduces the service life of the corundum brick. Therefore, when the billet enters the furnace, the placement of the billet should be adjusted to avoid the cutting of the corundum brick by the billet when it moves in the tapping trough, which can increase the service life of the tapping trough. Expansion joints or improper setting of expansion joints will make it have no room for expansion when heated, which will easily cause great internal stress, leading to premature damage to the corundum bricks and reduced service life.

How to extend the service life of corundum bricks on the tapping channel of the heating furnace?

(1) Reasonably control the furnace pressure so that the furnace pressure is always slightly positive. Especially when the steel rolling production is abnormal, attention should be paid to adjusting the flue gate at any time to keep the furnace pressure in a slightly positive state. Ensure that no cold air is sucked at the door of the tapping furnace so that the surface temperature of the corundum brick near the tapping port will not change frequently.

(2) The masonry gap between corundum bricks must be as small as possible. After the masonry is completed, the gaps must be filled and compacted with magnesia powder. Leave 30-50mm expansion joints at both ends of the tapping trough, which are filled with alumina silicate refractory fiber felt and covered with 30mm thick magnesia powder. In this way, the longitudinal expansion stress of the corundum bricks on the tapping channel can be eliminated, and the oxide scale can be prevented from falling into the expansion joints. The expansion joints on both sides of the tapping trough are the same as the two ends, but the expansion joint width is 10mm.

Characteristic Analysis of High-strength Wear-Resistant Castables for Waste Incinerators

High-strength wear-resistant castable is a widely used castable refractory for furnaces. High-strength wear-resistant castables can be used in circulating fluidized bed boilers, corrosion-resistant liners in the chemical industry, wear-resistant liners in the coal industry, blast furnace linings in the steel industry, and garbage incinerator linings. The Rongsheng refractory manufacturer analyzed the characteristics of high-strength wear-resistant castables for waste incinerators based on the characteristics of waste incineration. And specially developed wear-resistant refractory castables for garbage incinerators.

Application of High-strength Wear-Resistant Castables

Generally, high-strength wear-resistant castables for circulating fluidized bed boilers use corundum, silicon carbide, and special grade bauxite as the main raw materials, with superfine powder and compound additives. It has the characteristics of high strength at early medium temperature, good high-temperature performance, stable volume, strong resistance to slag penetration and erosion, erosion resistance, convenient construction, and strong integrity of the lining structure. It is a good wear-resistant material currently used in CFB boilers.

Characteristic analysis of high-strength wear-resistant castable for a waste incinerator

The following characteristics of high-strength wear-resistant castables for waste incinerators are tested as a reference for the analysis.

Determine the fluidity of the castable;
Measure its physical and chemical indexes at room temperature after treatment at various temperatures, as well as alkali resistance and abrasion resistance;
The acid test is carried out according to the crucible erosion method to detect Cl2 erosion. The test was carried out at 1000 ℃ for 48 h, and humid acid Cl2 gas was introduced to analyze the corrosion surface changes and microstructure of the sample.
The effects of Al2O3/SiO2 value, binder addition, SiC addition, and superfine powder addition on the properties of the castable were studied, and the optimal addition amount was optimized.

The results show:

When the value of Al2O3/SiO2 in the castable is about 0.8, the acid and alkali corrosion resistance of the sample is the best;
Cement-silica sol compound addition and the addition amount is 5%, the effect is the best;
Wear-resistant castables added with SiC have higher drying strength. Although the intensity of medium temperature (1100 ℃) fluctuates, it also maintains a relatively high value. When used at around 1300°C, the oxidation resistance and wear resistance will be effectively improved;
When the addition amount exceeds 15%, due to the fineness of SiC, a continuous phase is formed in the matrix, which can significantly improve the thermal conductivity of the castable. So that the castable has better thermal shock resistance;
When a proper amount of silicon powder is added, the specific surface area of the silicon powder is large, the activity is higher, and the silicon powder has the effect of filling and promoting sintering. In this way, only a small amount of water is needed to make the castable have better rheology and improve the high-temperature strength of the castable.

Application of high-strength wear-resistant castables for a garbage incinerator

By analyzing the characteristics of high-strength wear-resistant refractory castables for tie incinerators, Rongsheng refractory manufacturers, combined with the actual working environment and operating temperature, developed high-strength wear-resistant castables for garbage incinerators. The high-strength wear-resistant castable is used in the garbage incinerator and is mainly used in the wear-resistant parts such as the hearth and the roof of the gasifier. Through many years of operation, no product quality problems occurred in the middle, and the garbage incinerator is operating in good condition. Another incinerator project also used Rongsheng’s high-strength wear-resistant castables. It has been in operation for nearly 2 years without any obvious damage.

Classification of Refractory Cement for Sale

Refractory cement is one of the main materials for making high-temperature furnace linings. It is Refractory Cement for Sale with refractoriness not lower than 1580°C. According to different compositions, it can be divided into aluminate refractory cement, low calcium aluminate refractory cement, calcium magnesium aluminate cement, and dolomite refractory cement.

Aluminate cement can be divided into four categories according to Al2O3 content:

CA-50, 50%≤Al2O3＜60%
CA-60, 60%≤Al2O3＜68%
CA-70, 60%≤Al2O3＜77%
CA-80, 77%≤Al2O3

The Main Components of Refractory Cement

Refractory cement refers to cement with calcium aluminate as the main component. Refractory Cement for Sale is the basic bonding agent of unshaped refractory-casting refractory. Its chemical composition is mainly Al2O3 and CaO, and some also contain quite a lot of Fe2O3 and SiO2. The mineral composition consists of the following three kinds of minerals, CaO·Al2O3 (CA), CaO·2Al2O3 (CA2), 12CaO·7Al2O3 (C12A7) three compounds. And it is composed of 2CaO·Al2O3·SiO2 (C2AS) containing inclusions and 4CaO·Al2O3·Fe2O3 (C4AF).

Properties of Refractory Cement

The properties of Refractory Cement for Sale mainly depend on its mineral composition. The main mineral of refractory cement is monocalcium aluminate (CA), which has a high hydraulic activity and coagulates. Although it is not very fast, it hardens quickly, and the hardening time does not exceed one day. It is the main source of the strength of high alumina cement, especially the early strength. Calcium aluminate (CA2) has slower hydration and hardening, with lower early strength and higher late strength. the C12A7 has the characteristics of fast hydration and fast setting, but the strength is not high. In ordinary high alumina cement containing inclusions ( C2AS and C4AF), C4AS plays a role in hardening the cement as soon as possible. In high-grade high-alumina cement, C12A7 plays a hardening role. As for C2AS, basically it does not produce hydration, so it cannot show its strength.

Refractory cement contains 5 kinds of calcium aluminate minerals, and these calcium aluminates will show intense heat generation as the hydration reaction proceeds. Ordinary high-alumina cement contains 53-55% Al2O3. After 5-8 hours, the temperature reaches a peak value of 80-90℃. The high-alumina cement containing 70% Al2O3 will reach the peak temperature after 10-12h and the high-alumina cement containing 80% Al2O3 after 8-10h, which are 80 ℃ and 70 ℃ respectively.

The heating temperature and the time to reach the maximum temperature of a single cast of different types of high alumina cement are determined by the heating characteristics and content of the calcium aluminate contained.

How to Use Refractory Cement

The use of refractory cement is very simple, it can harden after adding water and mixing. Generally, there is no need to add other binders, but some refractory aggregates and powders can be added. If only refractory cement is used, a lot of cracks will occur after high temperature. It can be used to cement various refractory aggregates, such as corundum, calcined high alumina bauxite, etc. It is made into the refractory mortar or refractory castable, which is used as lining of cement rotary kiln and other industrial kilns.

Precautions for Refractory Cement

Many people tend to confuse refractory cement with refractory soil. If refractory cement and refractory soil are used together, the use-value of refractory cement will be greatly reduced. It is equivalent to mixing refractory cement and loess together. The solidification strength and marking of refractory cement will be much lower. It is recommended that workers who have been engaged in furnace construction for a long time, in refractory construction, use refractory cement and refractory soil rigorously.

Properties of Refractory Plastic

Workability of refractory plastic.

Generally, plastic refractory should have high plasticity. And after a long period of storage, it still has a certain plasticity. If the plasticity of the plastic refractory is not significantly reduced during its storage period, hydraulic binders cannot be used. If an air-hardening binder is used, sealing measures must also be taken during storage. However, since some of the binding agents may gradually coagulate, the plasticity is gradually lost. When the plastic refractory has high water content, it is also easy to become hard due to the loss of water retention, which makes the water dispersed and lost. In order to keep the plasticity of refractory plastics unchanged during storage for a long time, retarding measures must be taken.

The hardening and strength of refractory plastics.

Ordinary refractory plastics are hard. Since there is no chemical binder in it, the strength before unsintering is very low. However, at a certain temperature, the strength increases with increasing temperature. After sintering at high temperatures, the cold strength greatly increased. The hot state strength decreases with increasing temperature at a high temperature.

Refractory plastics added with sodium silicate have a relatively fast strength change after construction. To properly control the drying speed, it is not easy to produce shrinkage cracks. The mold can be removed quickly after construction. Refractory plastics containing this kind of binder are suitable for large kilns with long construction periods.

Refractory plastic shrinks during heating.

But plastic refractory contains more clay and moisture, and it often shrinks greatly during drying and high-temperature heating. Generally speaking, because plastic refractory contains a considerable amount of clay, its deformation under high-temperature load will be higher than other unshaped materials. So for plastic refractory, its volume stability is often used as an important technical indicator. (National regulations: the shrinkage of high-grade clay refractory plastic after heating to 1400°C should be no more than 4%. The shrinkage of special-grade clay refractory plastics after heating to 1600°C should be less than 2.5%)

The thermal shock resistance of refractory plastics.

Compared with sintered refractory products of the same material and uncustomized refractory materials of other materials, refractory plastics have better thermal shock resistance. Due to the high thermal shock resistance of refractory plastic, it is better to be used where the temperature fluctuation is large.

Uses of Refractory Plastics

Refractory plastics are mostly used in boiler walls and roofs of boilers. It is also used in a heating furnace, soaking furnace, and annealing furnace. But the plastic refractory has a low bulk density and good thermal shock resistance. When used in the heating process and high temperature, it will not cause serious deformation due to crystal phase change. The mineral composition near the heating surface is mullite and cristobalite crystallites, and the glass phase is less. Therefore, refractory plastic is particularly suitable for furnace walls with large temperature fluctuations and high-temperature furnace roofs that receive flame impact or radiation.

Damage and Repair of Carbon Brick Lining in the Furnace Hearth

The temperature of the carbon brick in the furnace hearth is too high, the working conditions of the lining deteriorate, and the damage is accelerated, which affects the long life of the blast furnace and the safe operation of the equipment. For the damage and repair of carbon brick lining in the furnace hearth, all manufacturers are looking for effective measures to curb the rising temperature of carbon bricks. Govern at the early stage of hidden dangers to ensure safe and efficient operation of equipment and strengthen smelting.

Blast Furnace Carbon Bricks — Blast Furnace Carbon Brick Lining

Analysis of the Damage to the Lining of Blast Furnace Carbon Brick

After the blast furnace was put into production for a period of time, due to the consumption of ceramic coasters, the carbon brick lining in the hearth directly suffered the erosion of the molten iron, which may be partially damaged. The bottom of the hearth is recessed and cracked in the shape of a garlic head so that the temperature gradient in the carbon brick increases and the high-temperature area moves outside the furnace.

In addition, the carbon ramming mass material filled between the ring-shaped carbon brick and the stave may shrink after a long time of carbonization. Especially when the blast furnace is built, the charcoal ramming material is not compacted, and it is more likely to be loose. A gas gap is formed in the carbon ramming layer, which seriously affects the cooling effect of the cooling wall on the carbon brick. The thermal resistance of the gas is 200 times that of the dense carbon ramming.

Excluding the damage to the cooling stave, the reason why the monitoring temperature of the thermocouple built in the carbon brick is higher than the normal temperature is mainly caused by the following two situations. In general, by observing the temperature difference between the cooling wall inlet and outlet water, the reason for the local temperature rise of the carbon brick lining can be roughly judged. If the temperature difference between the incoming and outgoing water is higher than the normal part, it should be caused by the carbon brick being eroded and thinned to increase the intensity of the heat flow. When the temperature difference between the incoming and outgoing water is lower than the normal part, it should be caused by the shrinkage of the carbon ramming material and the increase in thermal resistance caused by the gas gap. When both factors are combined, changes in the temperature difference between the incoming and outgoing water may cancel each other out and the changes are uncertain.

Repair of the Damaged Carbon Brick Lining of Blast Furnace

For the former case, it should be recommended to adopt vanadium-titanium ore protection measures in blast furnace production operations. Increasing the viscosity of the solution in the hearth will help to form a protective layer with a certain thickness on the surface of the carbon brick, to avoid the high-temperature area caused by the further erosion of the carbon brick lining moving in the direction of the furnace. For the latter case, the cooling wall hot surface grouting measures can be taken to eliminate the gas gap in the carbon ramming layer and improve the cooling effect of the cooling wall on the carbon brick. When necessary, the two measures are adopted at the same time to achieve the purpose of reducing the temperature of the furnace carbon brick.

The grouting measure for the hot surface of the cooling stave is to find out the filling position of the iron filings between the two cooling studs at the part where the temperature of the carbon brick in the hearth is too high. After drilling holes in the furnace shell with a magnetic drill, drill through the iron filings layer with an impact drill to reach the carbon ramming layer. Then use a negative pressure ejector to suck out the debris clogged in the hole to make the grouting pipeline unblocked. A high thermal conductivity furnace and a special carbonaceous bottom of the furnace are used to press the slurry into the cold and hot surface of the cooling wall and grouting at the same time. To fill the air gap of the carbon ramming mass layer on the hot surface of the cooling stave to improve the cooling strength of the stave on the carbon brick.

What Details Should be Paid Attention to When Using Refractory Mortar?

Refractory mortar is a bonding connection material for building refractory bricks. Proper selection of refractory mortar is very important for the integrity and tightness of the refractory brick combined with the high temperature in the later period and the lining of the kiln. In the construction process of refractory materials, what details should be paid attention to when using refractory mortar can not be ignored. Rongsheng’s high-quality refractory bricks and supporting refractory mortar of the same material are used.

Details to be Noted When Using Refractory Mortar

When using refractory mortar, it needs to be paid attention: The performance of the refractory mortars used for building refractory bricks should be compatible with the physical and chemical properties of the refractory bricks used. The types and indicators of refractory mortars are determined by the material and temperature of the refractory bricks used in industrial kilns.

When the refractory mortars are used in combination with refractory bricks, the fineness of the refractory mortar must be kept above 160 mesh, otherwise, it will dry too quickly and the adhesion will not be strong. Before using refractory mortar, it is necessary to determine the viscosity of the refractory mortars and the amount of liquid added. (Water binding, phosphoric acid-binding, resin binding). The bonding time of refractory mortar must meet the construction requirements of refractory bricks. The bonding time of refractory mortar depends on the material, size and difficulty of construction of refractory bricks. Generally speaking, the bonding time is 1-1.5min. It will not dry too fast or too slow. Too slow to condense. Too fast refractory bricks and refractory bricks are not bonded together.

When the refractory mortars are prepared, choosing the water as the liquid, clean industrial water is used, and the PH value is between 6-7. Do not use industrial water containing harmful substances and oil stains. It is particularly worth reminding that when preparing refractory mortar in coastal areas, the water used must be strictly tested, and the concentration of chloride ions cannot be greater than 300mg/L. Springwater can not be used when constructing near a mountain. The PH value of spring water is 11, so it cannot be used.

Phosphoric acid is added to the refractory mortar during its preparation, and it must be carried out in strict accordance with the instructions of the refractory mortars manufacturer. The amount of phosphoric acid added should not be too much or too little, too thin, or too thick are not conducive to the bonding strength of refractory mortar.

There are many varieties of refractory mortars, and various varieties and brands can not be mixed. The best prepared refractory mortar on the day is best used on the same day, not used the next day. The rational use of refractory mortar is based on the material of the refractory brick and the temperature of the construction is closely combined.
