    • heat to 1800°C at a rate of 7°C/min
    • maintain temperature for 1 h

    Performance preparing method Embodiment1 Embodiment 2 Embodiment 3 Cast iron
    Rockwell hardness 92.5 94.8 93.8 48
    Density (g·cm-3) 3.27 3.39 3.35 7.31
    wear rate under 40N load (×10-7cm3·m-1) 1.35 1.22 1.31 75
    wear rate under 100N load (×10-7cm3·m-1) 6.57 6.08 6.29 120

In respect of wear resistance, the wear rate of the composite spoutof present invention is much lower than that of the cast iron spout under the same load action, which indicates that the wear performance of the former is far superior to that of the latter, and in the above three embodiments, the spout obtained in embodiment 2 has the best performance, therefore, the preparing process in embodiment 2 is the optimal method for preparing the composite spout.
  • In conclusion, the composite spout of the SBM prepared according to the present invention adopts a molding technology of a water absorption gypsum die, and features the following characteristics:
    • high strength
    • good wear resistance
    • light weight of the Si3N4/BNNT composite ceramic
  • Therefore, the hardness and wear resistance of the currently adopted pure cast iron spout are improved, the durability of the spout caused by the flowing of shot materials in the spout in a long-term use process is reduced, such that the rejection rate of the spout is greatly reduced, the production cost is saved, the production efficiency is improved and the composite spout is an excellent and innovative spout for use in SBM.
