添加Al粉、Si粉对镁铝尖晶石质免烧耐火材料结构与性能的影响

Effect of Al powder and Si powder addition on structure and properties of unburned magnesium aluminate spinel refractories

采用烧结镁铝尖晶石为主要原料,以酚醛树脂为结合剂,分别以2%、4%和6%(w)的Al粉,以及在4%(w)的Al粉基础上复合添加1%、2%(w)的Si粉为添加剂,制备了镁铝尖晶石质免烧耐火材料试样,研究了不同热处理温度(1000、1400和1600℃分别保温3 h)下Al粉、Si粉添加剂对镁铝尖晶石质免烧耐火材料性能及结构的影响。结果表明,Al粉添加剂的引入能大幅提高试样1000和1400℃烧后的常温抗折强度,同时在基质中形成AlN增强相,大幅提高了试样在1400℃下的高温抗折强度,但1600℃热处理后,对强度影响不大;Al粉、Si粉复合添加剂会在基质中形成低熔点化合物,大幅降低了Al粉、Si粉复合添加试样的高温抗折强度,但低熔点相的存在促进了烧结,提高了其致密度和常温抗折强度,且降低了其升温过程中的体积变化,其在各个温度热处理后常温抗折强度均高于添加Al粉试样的。

Unburned magnesium aluminate spinel refractories were prepared using sintered magnesium aluminate spinel as the main raw material,phenolic resin as the binder,aluminum powder(2%,4%,and 6%,by mass)and silicon powder(when Al powder addition is 4%,Si powder addition varies:1%and 2%,by mass)as additives.The effects of the aluminum powder and silicon powder addition on the properties and the microstructure of the refractories heat treated at different temperatures(1000,1400,and 1600℃for 3 h)were studied.The results show that the Al powder addition can greatly enhance the cold modulus of rupture of the samples fired at 1000 or 1400℃,and meanwhile AlN reinforcement phase forms in the matrix,which greatly improves the hot modulus of rupture of the samples at 1400℃;however,the heat treatment at 1600℃has little influence on the strength;the addition of aluminum powder and silicon powder result in the formation of low melting point phases,greatly reducing the hot modulus of rupture.However,the low melting point phases promote sintering,which enhances the density and the cold modulus of rupture,and decreases the volume change during heating.The specimens added with aluminum and silicon all have higher cold modulus of rupture than those added with Al powder only.
