Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a co-molding process for producing co- molded, chemical-bonded, canned refractory articles.
  • a refractory composition containing a refractory aggregate and a chemical binder is co-molded under relatively high pressures to form the article followed by drying at temperatures sufficient to cure the chemical binder but not at temperatures high enough to be detrimental to the metal can.
  • the present invention relates to a process for producing co-molded, canned refractory nozzles and co-molded, canned refractory slide gate plates.
  • One of prior art methods for producing canned refractory articles comprises mixing a refractory aggregate with a chemical binder or wetting agent to fo ⁇ n a refractory composition of pressing consistency. The composition is pressed to shape the article. The article is sized, dried, and then fired to form ceramic bonds. The article is assembled in a can typically by using mortar in the joint between the can and the article and positioned in the can to achieve the correct final dimensions of the article. The canned article may then be dried again. This process of fo ⁇ rjing a canned refractory article is very expensive as it requires high temperature firing to form the ceramic bonds and a separate canning process.
  • Another method for forming canned refractory articles comprises mixing a refractory aggregate with a chemical binder to form a refractory composition of pressing consistency.
  • the composition is pressed to shape the article.
  • the article is sized and then dried or cured to form chemical bonds.
  • the article is assembled in a can typically by using mortar in the joint between the can and the article and positioned in the can to achieve the correct final dimensions of the article.
  • a further method for forming canned refractory articles comprising mixing a refractory aggregate to form a refractory castable.
  • the composition is cast into a can and mold assembly to form the shape of the article and the article is sized.
  • the article stays in the mold at ambient temperature until the castable sets.
  • the canned article is then removed from the mold and dried at a higher temperature. This process eliminates the high temperature firing and canning steps but the range of compositions which can be used to fo ⁇ n the articles is limited. Further, the production rates are limited by the number of molds and set time of the castable.
  • Another method for producing canned refractory articles comprises mixing a refractory aggregate with a chemical binder to form a refractory composition of ramming consistency.
  • a can is placed in a mold assembly.
  • the refractory composition is rammed into the can and mold to form the shape of the article and the article is sized.
  • the canned article is then dried or cured to form the chemical bonds.
  • This process in which the refractory composition is rammed into the can and molded to form the article takes a lot of time. Further, the rarnming of the composition into the can and mold to form the article is not able to be done at relatively high pressures.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-section of a press cavity die used in the co-molding process of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section of a nozzle manufactured according to the process of the present invention showing the various elements making up the nozzle.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section of a slide gate plate manufactured according to the process of the present invention showing the various elements making up the slide gate plate.
  • the present invention is directed to a co-molding process for producing co- molded, chemical-bonded, canned refractory articles.
  • the process of the present invention comprises mixing a refractory aggregate with a chemical binder to form a refractory composition, placing a metal can into a press cavity die, charging the refractory composition into the metal can and press cavity die, subjecting the refractory composition to high pressures while in the press cavity die to shape and size the refractory article, and drying the refractory article at temperatures sufficient to cure said chemical binder.
  • the process of the present invention does not require the costly and problematic firing step as the use of chemical bond eliminates the need for high temperature firing.
  • the process of the present invention further eliminates the separate canning and sizing steps of the conventional methods of the prior art as in the present invention the forming, canning, and sizing steps are all accomplished in one step.
  • the co-molded, chemical-bonded, canned refractory article of the present invention is prepared by first mixing a refractory aggregate with a chemical binder to fo ⁇ n a pressable refractory composition.
  • the refractory aggregate material may be in granular or powder form.
  • the size of the refractory aggregate particulate is in the range of about a few microns to about a centimeter in diameter. In a preferred embodiment, the size of the refractory aggregate material panicles is in the range from about -3 mesh to about -325 mesh.
  • the amount of refractory aggregate material in the refractory composition of the present invention is from about 85% to about 97% by weight. In another embodiment, the amount of refractory aggregate material is from about 90% to about 98% by weight.
  • the refractory aggregate may be comprised of aggregate materials known in this field. These aggregates may include, but are not limited to, alumina, mullite, alumina-silicates, silica, zirconia, alumina-zirconia, zirconia-mullite, magnesia, alumina-magnesia spinel, carbon, graphite, metal powders, antioxidants, and combinations thereof.
  • the refractory composition further comprises a chemical binder.

  • Organic materials which can be used as chemical binders are resins, pitch, polyvinyl alcohols, and combinations thereof.
  • the preferred organic materials used as chemical binders are resins. These resins include, but are not limited to, resole resins, novolac resins, liquid resins, powder resins, and combinations thereof.
  • the refractory composition may further comprise amounts of metallic aluminum, silicon, and magnesium metals, or a combination thereof.
  • the refractory composition may also comprise components such as modifiers or fillers, so long as the modifiers and fillers do not appreciably change the characteristics of the nozzle.
  • the refractory composition is formed by mixing the refractory aggregate, the chemical binder and the other components by any means shown in the art.
  • the refractory aggregate and other components may be preblended for a specified time and then mixed for a time.
  • the resin binder can then be added, and the composition further mixed for a specified time.
  • a metal can is placed into a press cavity die and the refractory composition is then charged into the metal can and press cavity die. While in the die, the refractory composition is subjected to high pressure to form, shape, and size of the refractory article.

  • Another advantage is that forming in the press provides better size and shape control.
  • a further advantage is that forming in the press requires less time than the ramming and casting processes.
