Two types of low carbon MgO - C refractories with 6% graphite were prepared using microporous magnesiarich spinel （5 - 3 and 3 - 1 mm ） and fused magnesia （5 - 3 and 3 - 1 mm ） as coarse aggregates, respectively, ...Two types of low carbon MgO - C refractories with 6% graphite were prepared using microporous magnesiarich spinel （5 - 3 and 3 - 1 mm ） and fused magnesia （5 - 3 and 3 - 1 mm ） as coarse aggregates, respectively, fused magnesia （ ≤1 mm） as fine aggregate, magnesia powder （≤ 0. 088 mm ） , flake graphite powder （ ≤0. 088 mm）, metal Al powder （ 〈0. 074 mm） as matrix, and phenol resin as binder. After curing at 220 ℃ and coke-embedded firing at 1 500 ℃ , the apparent porosity, cold crushing strength, cold modulus of rupture, permanent linear change on heating, thermal shock resistance and slag resistance of the specimens were studied comparatively. The results indicate that： （ 1 ） after curing at 220 ℃ and coke-embedded firing at 1 500 ℃, the specimen with microporous magnesia-rich spinel replacing fused magnesia has lower bulk density and higher apparent porosity than the common low car- bon MgO - C specimen. After curing at 220 ℃, the specimen with microporous aggregate has lower strength than common low carbon MgO - C specimen, but after coke-embedded firing at 1 500℃, it has higher strength and lower permanent linear change on heating; （2） low carbon MgO - C specimen using microporous magnesia-rich spinel to replace fused magnesia aggregate has better thermal shock resistance but worse slag resistance.展开更多

Among the factors affecting the cleanliness and consequent quali- ty of steel products, refractories are one of the key fac- tors. Meanwhile the restriction of resource, energy and environment is getting stronger, thus the improvement of refractories becontes much more important. In this paper, refractories selection principle Jbr clean steel production according to their thermodynamic features was ex- plained; refractories for tundLsh and flow control in con- tinuous casting, which play important roles in prohibi- ring secondary contamination of molten steel, were intro- duced.
