Eco-Friendly Smokeless Al_2O_3-SiC-C Brick for Hot Metal Ladle

Hot metal transfer ladles were historically lined with high alumina refractories because of compatibility of high alumina refractories with the highly acidic slag, which is transferred .from the iron making plant along with hot metal. With the introduction of higher capacity ladles, technological advancement in the process and increased productivity, calls for a higher campaign life of hot metal ladles, which could not be performed by ordinary high alumina refractories. Resin bonded Al2O3- SiC-C （hereinafter ASC ） bricks gradually developed which at present taking place replacing the conventional refractories. Considerable work has been carried out in developing the ASC refractory to reach the present state. However, for higher capacity ladles still there is a lot of scope for improvement. The present paper deals with the newly developed ASC bricks, which was used in 165 ton capacity hot metal ladles in one European plant and has given a substantial increase in performance. But, the customer was not fuUy satisfied since the brick was reported to produce smokes during preheating of the ladle. In the subsequent supply the smoke generation problem was taken care by adjusting the binders and additives and eco-friendly bricks were re-engineered and supplied to the same plant, which also performed splendidly and created all time record in their plant history.

Hot Load Deformation of Light-weight Insulating Fireclay Bricks

The hot load deformation tests of four kinds of insulating fireclay bricks were carried out using a high temperature creep furnace from Sinosteel Luoyang hlstitute of Refractories Reseorch Co. , Ltd. The testing load was fixed at 0. 069 MPa and the total testing time was with- in 6 h including the holding time of 1.5 h. The hot load defi〉rmation process of insulating fireclay bricks can be divided into three steps ： （ 1 ） expansion step from room temperature to RUL Tmax;（ 2 ） quick shrinkage step be- tween. RUL T and Ttest; 3 ） relatively slow shrinkage step during holding process. The deformation rate at the beginning of holding process （D0h） should be controlled withi, ＋0. 1%. The hot load deformation testing tem- perature of insulating fireclay bricks was optimized as the value of RUL T plus 220℃.

Efforts have been made on the selection of starting materials such as corundum, mullite, andalusite and sillimanite etc., together with some measures taken on multi-grade formulation, homogenizing of the matrix of bricks and addition of some special additives. The results indicated that the bricks were with characteristics such as higher thermal shock resistance of 〉 30 cycles under quenching in water from 1000℃, and creep rate of 0. 2 under 1400℃ for 20 -50hrs with load of 0.2 MPa. Now a series of products of this kind have been developed and produced. The application of the products in Wuhan Iron and Steel Co. showed very prospective results.

Thermal Properties of Earth Bricks Stabilised with Cement and Sawdust Residue Using the Asymmetrical Hot-Plane Method

This paper presents an experimental study of the characterisation of local materials used in the construction and thermal insulation of buildings. These materials are compressed earth bricks stabilised with cement and sawdust. The thermal conductivity, diffusivity, effusivity, and specific heat of earth-based materials containing cement or sawdust have been determined. The results show that the blocks with earth + sawdust are better thermal insulators than the blocks with simple earth. We observe an improvement in thermal efficiency depending on the presence of sawdust or cement stabilisers. For cement stabilisation, the thermal conductivity increases (λ: 1.04 to 1.36 W·m-1·K-1), the diffusivity increases (from 4.32 × 10-7 to 9.82 × 10-7 m2·s-1), and the effusivity decreases (1404 - 1096 J·m-2·K-1·s-1/2). For sawdust stabilisation, the thermal conductivity decreases (λ: 1.04 to 0.64 W·m-1·K-1), the diffusivity increases (from 4.32 × 10-7 to 5.9 × 10-7 m2·s-1), and the effusivity decreases (1404 - 906 J·m-2·K-1·s-1/2). Improving the structural and thermal efficiency of BTC via stabilisation with derived binders or cement is beneficial for the load-bearing capacity and thermal performance of buildings.

高炉热风炉可以根据温度高低分为几个温度区间,分析各区间部位的工况条件,选用合适的耐材至关重要。简要分析了热风炉耐火材料使用范围及使用工况,重点分析了各温度区间,硅砖、高铝砖和黏土砖等几种定形耐火材料的选用。认为:根据工况条件,在合适的地方使用合适的耐火材料是基本原则,“高标低配”或“低标高配”的做法均是错误的;在应用耐材的同时应加强对耐材基础性能的研究,有助于从源头上了解耐材的使用规则,从而达到既节省投资又满足使用寿命的目的。

大型高炉炉缸铁口直径及铁口深度的数值模拟

高炉作为钢铁企业的主要设备之一,其使用寿命和工作状态在很大程度上影响了钢铁企业的经济效益及社会效益。面对新时期的“碳达峰、碳中和”新目标,高炉需要进一步向大型化、现代化、高效化、长寿化方向发展。目前国内多座大型高炉在炉役期内,炉缸都曾出现过较为严重的侵蚀现象,炉缸寿命成为限制大型高炉寿命进一步发展的限制性环节。调查结果显示,炉缸炭砖主要受铁水冲刷侵蚀、碱金属和锌对炭砖的破坏以及高温热应力的影响。针对铁水对炭砖的冲刷侵蚀,使用Fluent软件研究了5500 m^(3)高炉不同铁口直径及不同铁口深度对炉缸铁水流场及温度场的影响。研究结果表明,当铁口直径从55 mm增大到75 mm时,炉缸侧壁附近铁水流速和炭砖热面温度均会增加;当铁口深度从3.3 m增大到4.3 m时,炉缸侧壁附近铁水流速和炭砖热面温度均会降低。在高炉生产过程中,适当增加铁口深度及降低铁口直径有利于降低炉缸铁水流速和炭砖热面温度,从而延长高炉的使用寿命。
