Description

Amorphous Refractory Composition {Castable for ladle}

   The present invention relates to an amorphous refractory composition used as internal refractories of the bottom of a ladle, a steelmaking facility, comprising a spinel clinker having an MgO content of 40 to 60% and an alumina content of at least 70 wt%. 95 to 99% by weight of magnesia clinker is added to improve the corrosion resistance and invasion resistance to the slag to extend the service life of the ladle.

As a built-in refractory of steelmaking ladles in the prior art, alumina-spinel-based and alumina-magnesia-based amorphous refractory materials having advantages in construction and high service life are used. MgO-Al ₂ O ₃ -based spinel reacts with surrounding alumina at high temperature to have a cation vacancy structure. When the spinel comes into contact with slag, FeO or MnO in the slag is dissolved. Therefore, since the FeO content in the slag is reduced and the viscosity of the slag is increased, the penetration rate of the slag into the refractory is slowed to improve the life of the refractory. Alumina-magnesia based amorphous refractory is intended for the formation of all secondary spinel at high temperature by adding magnesia directly without adding spinel. In this case, the volume expansion due to the spinel reaction is suppressed under restraint, so that the porosity of the structure is reduced and densified, thereby suppressing the penetration of slag. In addition, since the spinel produced is a spinel having a lattice defect structure in which Al ₂ O ₃ is 85% or more, it is effective in solid solution such as FeO and MnO, which are slag components.

From the above discussion, it can be seen that the main mechanism for suppressing slag infiltration in alumina-spinel amorphous refractory and alumina-magnesia amorphous refractory is to suppress the penetration of slag by trapping ferrous oxide and manganese oxide in slag and increasing the viscosity of slag. have. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-97526 or Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-2975 proposes an alumina-magnesia material. This material combines the corrosion resistance of alumina and magnesia and the slag penetration resistance of alumina-magnesia-based spinel (hereinafter, simply called spinel) produced by the reaction of alumina and magnesia, and has excellent contents.

The proposed refractory materials are effective in slag operation in which the content of ferrous oxide and manganese oxide in slag is 10% or more and the calcium oxide / alumina (CaO / Al ₂ O ₃ ) ratio is 2 or more. Recent ladle use conditions, however, are becoming more severe, such as an increase in molten steel temperature and a decrease in the ratio of calcium oxide / alumina in the slag to around 1. When the slag calcium oxide / alumina ratio is near 1, the slag melting point is about 1500 ° C. or less, which greatly reduces the viscosity of the slag, thereby facilitating the penetration of the slag. As a result, slag penetrates deep into the refractory and reacts with the refractory component, thereby increasing the possibility of large peeling due to structural spalling due to heterogeneous structure formation, which is a factor of instability of the operation.

The present invention has been invented to solve the problems described above, the object is a spinel clinker with an MgO content of 40 to 60% by weight and 95 to 99% by weight of alumina-based amorphous refractory having alumina content of more than 70% by weight Phosphorus magnesia clinker is added to improve the corrosion resistance and invasion resistance of the slag to extend the service life of the ladle.

The composition of the amorphous refractory composition of the present invention for achieving the above object is, 5 to 10% by weight of spinel clinker MgO content, MgO content in the composition of the amorphous refractory to improve the corrosion resistance to slag MgO content The 95 to 99% by weight of magnesia clinker 4-10% by weight, the remainder is composed of an alumina amorphous refractory having an alumina content of more than 70% by weight.

In addition, the size of the spinel clinker 40 to 60% by weight of MgO content is 0.1 ~ 1mm, the size of the magnesia clinker of 95 to 99% by weight of MgO is 0.1 ~ 0.5mm.

The amorphous refractory composition of the present invention having the above characteristics will be described in more detail as follows.

First, when observing the microstructure of the spinel clinker having a MgO content of 40 to 60% by weight used in the present invention, the fine magnesia grain and the positive spinel (spinel having a stoichiometric composition of about 28% by weight MgO) grains are mixed. Indicates. When the slag component penetrates from the outside, the fine grained spinel grains increase the viscosity of the slag by solidifying FeO and MnO in the slag.

On the other hand, the MgO component diffuses from the magnesia grains and moves to the movable surface in contact with the slag. The MgO component reacts with the alumina particles, which is a component of the refractory material, to produce alumina-magnesia-based spinels, which are known as alumina- Compared with the spinel produced from the magnesia amorphous refractory material, the size is smaller and the sintering property is increased. Thus, by forming a dense structure, the porosity near the movable surface is greatly lowered, thereby improving the resistance to slag penetration.

In addition, when the MgO content in the spinel clinker is less than 40% or more than 60%, magnesia grains or positive spinel grains do not exist or the amount is very small, so the above effects are difficult to exhibit. If the size of the spinel clinker is less than 0.1mm or the addition amount is more than 10% by weight, the oversintering proceeds at high temperature, resulting in structural spalling at the operating surface.If the particle size is larger than 1mm or less than 4% by weight, FeO and MnO in the slag Since the second spinel produced by the solid solution and the reaction with alumina is small, the amount of spinel clinker having a MgO content of 40 to 60% by weight is 5 to 10% by weight, and the size is preferably 0.1 to 1 mm.

In addition, when the magnesia clinker is added to the alumina amorphous refractory, it reacts with the alumina at high temperature to form a lattice defect type secondary spinel. These spinels increase the viscosity of the slag as the slag component from the outside solidifies FeO and MnO in the slag. In addition, if the purity of the magnesia clinker is lower than 95%, the impurity content is high, causing over sintering, and if higher than 99%, the addition effect is the same but the price is high, which is not preferable.

And, if the size of the magnesia is less than 0.1mm or more than 10% by weight causes over sintering, and if the particle size is larger than 0.5mm or less than 4% by weight, the amount of secondary spinel is less than the slag component (FeO, MnO ) Employment effect is low. Therefore, the amount of magnesia clinker having a MgO content of 95 to 99% by weight is 4 to 10% by weight, and the size thereof is preferably 0.1 to 0.5mm.

Hereinafter, the amorphous fireproof composition of the present invention will be described as an example.

After the test, the specimens were cooled and the erosion depth and infiltration depth of each specimen were measured, and the damage index was calculated using the specimens. In addition, a 50 * 50 mm sized specimen was prepared, charged into an electric furnace maintained at 1400 ° C., maintained for a certain period of time, taken out and water cooled, and then the number of cracks generated was measured to determine the spalling index of the specimen. Damage index and spalling index were calculated as percentage index based on the measured values of formulation 12.
