(54)A METHOD OF IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF REFRACTORY BRICKS
(71) We, CENTRE DE
RECHERCHES METALLURGIQUES
CENTRUM VOOR RESEARCH IN DE
METALLURGIE, a Belgian body Corporate, of 47 rue Montoyer, Brussels, Belgium, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:
The present invention relates to a method of improving the quality of refractory bricks, and in particular refractory bricks which are to be used in metallurgical vessels such as mixers, vessels for treatment under vacuum, and torpedoladles, and in general in any container employing calcined refractory bricks, especially in the zones where slag comes into contact with the refractory material.
It is known that, in containers of this kind, the zones which in use are most exposed to chemical erosion are just those which are more often in contact with slag floating on the molten metal. Erosion is accelerated when mechanical stresses such as impacts of material (metal or slag), friction due to flows, or heat shocks are added to chemical stresses.
The result of these various stresses is rapid and extensive deterioration of the refractory, in particular by erosion and spalling, which requires frequent and expensive repairs and produces a considerable loss of production due to stoppages. Furthermore, regardless of these local repairs, it is quite often found that the refractory located in less stressed zones must be replaced before full utilization.
Numerous suggestions have already been made to remedy, if only partly, the above mentioned disadvantages. These efforts, however, do not seem to have achieved completely satisfactory results. More specifically, in the case of treating steel under vacuum or in the case of mixers, it has already been tried for protection purposes to cover the refractory, at a suitable time, with a thin layer of finely divided alumina (being particularly resistant to chemical stresses imparted by molten metal), the covering preferably taking place by natural coating (adhesion to a wall wetted by slag). However, the supplementary protection thus obtained does not last, as the alumina is rapidly elinimated by mechanical action.
The present invention provides a method of improving the quality of a refractory brick consisting of calcined granular refractory material, the method comprising introducing between the grains of the refractory metarial a particulate material which reacts more easily with metallurgical slag than does the refractory material, the more easily reactive material being selected from A1203, Ca0, MgO, SiO2, and Zr02.
Thus the particulate material, referred to below as "the protective material" is added between the grains of the refractory material after the refractory material has been calcined. The protective material reacts to a larger extent than the refractory material with aggressive slag, thereby attenuating the aggressive power of the slag, which results in effective protection of the refractory material.
It has been found that refractory bricks which have been impregnated with protective material withstand the effects of slag for a much longer time than untreated bricks.
The protective material preferably is a high quality refractory of a very fine granulometry, added to the refractory brick after it has already been calcined. In this way, any possible undesirable influence of the protective material on the refractory properties of the brick proper is avoided and the protective material to be added has a very high reactivity with respect to the slag penetrating the bricks.
It seems that when slag comes into contact with a refractory brick thus impregnated (even penetrating within the brick), it reacts preferentially with the protective material without causing chemical or physical disintegration of the bricks.
In practice, impregnation can take place by introducing into the brick (for example by soaking, by aspiration under vacuum, or by spraying) a liquid containing the protective material or a compound (e.g. a salt) which decomposes into the protective material on heating, in suspension and/or in solution (possibly completely or partly a colloidal solution), or a liquid consisting or the protective material or the said compound in a liquid state, possibly followed by drying or dehydration (with or without decomposition), which results in the production of the proetective material in situ in the desired finely divided form.
If introduction into the brick occurs by putting the particulate material in suspension in a liquid, the density of the liquid is preferably very close to the density of the solid body.
If introduction takes place by using a compound which after decomposition inside the brick produces the particulate protective material sought, one will preferably use a compound which, upon such decomposition, forms only volatile compounds apart from the protective material.
Preferred examples of combinations of refractory material and protective material are explained below.
For bricks consisting of refractory material based on magnesia and/or chromite, the protective material is preferably A1203, MgO, CaO. and/or Zero2.
For bricks consisting of refractory material containing from 15 to 50%ofSi02.Al203, the protective material is preferably Zero2.
For bricks consisting of refractory material with a high content of alumina ( > 50 wt.%), the protective material is preferably A1203 and/or Zero2.
For bricks consisting of refractory material based on ZrO2.SiO2, the protective material is preferably ZrO2 and/or Six2.
For bricks consisting of refractory material based on silica, the protective material is preferably Zr02 and/or SiO2.
