The oxidation resistance tests were conducted at 600 ℃ , 1 000 ℃ and 1 400 ℃ for 2 h, respectively.

The phase composition and the microstructure of the matrix of low-carbon MgO - C brick containing Ti ( C, N) were studied by XRD and SEM analysis together with EDS. The results showed that Ti ( C, N) distributed in the matrix of lowcarbon MgO - C brick uniformly after being treated at 1 600 ~C for 3 h in coke powder bed, and Ti (C, N) and MgO formed a solid solution. After the treatment at 1 600 ℃ for 3 h in coke powder bed, the bulk density and cold crushing strength of low-carbon MgO - C brick with Ti ( C, N) decreased, and the apparent porosity and linear change rate of specimens increased. The oxidation resistance of low-carbon MgO - C brick with Ti( C, N) was superior to that of low-carbon MgO - C brick with no additives, but inferior to that of low-car- bon MgO - C brick with Al powder. The slag resistance of the specimen with Ti ( C, N) was excellent as well.展开更多

Large crystal fused magnesia, natural flake graphite with different particle sizes and anti-oxidant were adopted as raw material for preparation of specimens. However, the results show that the physical properties, oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance of low carbon MgO-C materials with content of 4.0wt% graphite are improved obviously through the use of special and suitable size graphite. The excellent performance achieved was considered as a result of microstructure modification of MgO-C materials. Therefore, it is suggested that both fine and micro grade natural flake graphite used for production of low carbon MgO-C bricks.展开更多

Then property change of the Cr2 O3 - Al2 O3 - ZrO2 bricks after secondary treat- ment in simulation environment was studied. Finally, corrosion resistances of the Cr2 O3 - Al2 O3 - ZrO2 bricks in air and simulation environment were compared; and microstructure of on-site used Cr2O3 - Al2O3 - ZrO2 bricks in slagging gasifiers was analyzed. The results show that the atmosphere has significant effect on the mi- crostructure and properties of the phosphate bonded Cr2O3 -Al2O3 -ZrO2 bricks. As the specimens are fired in air, the phosphate forms a composite solid solution with Cr2 O3 and Al2 O3, therefore, strength of the speci- mens is enhanced. For specimens fired in coke bed, a certain amount of gases are generated owing to the re- duction of phosphate and part of Cr2 O3, which results in the increasing number and size of the pores, bad interfa- cial bonding between Cr2O3 aggregates and matrix as well as low strength of the specimens. During service process in reducing atmosphere, the phosphate binder and part of Cr2O3 in edge of the specimens are also re- duced, leading to significant increase of number and size of the pores in the edge of the specimens; as a result, inreducing atmosphere, the specimens show much worse corrosion resistance than in air.展开更多
