Based on a newly developed binder system, a new generation of tarresin bonded magnesia carbon products with high performance has been developed. Furthermore, the binder system characterized by high carbon yield after carbonization results in forming an extremely strong carbon bonding. It can improve refractories properties to get new product with more advantages than old refractories: more economic, lower cost and low toxicity. Tar-resin is not only used in shaped refractories, but also in more refractories types, such as monolithic refractories. Immersion experiments of MgO- C monolithic refractories samples in liquid steel at 1600℃ have been carried out for steel making industry. These experiments showed the formation of a dense and continuous MgO rich layer, on the interface between refractory and steel, and the possible formation of inclusions as large clusters protruding from the refractory surface. For the mechanical properties, the powder was heated up to 1400℃ in air to remove carbon, and was subsequently formed into brick shape. Standard ASTM was used to determine the MOR, porosity and density. It is found that antioxidantmaterials play an important role in improving the mechanical properties.展开更多

The formation of in-situ spinel fiber was detected to start at 1300 ℃. The amount, diameter and length of the fibers increased with rising temperature. Ferrocene may have catalytic effects on the growth of the fibers in two aspects. First, the reaction between MgO and C and the decomposition of Al4C3 may be catalyzed at high temperature. Suitable concentration gaseous phase is then created for vapor-vapor reaction which could result in the in-situ formation of fibers. Second, Fe nanoparticle produced from ferrocene can act as catalytic droplets and catalyze the growth of the fibers. The fibers are formed via the vapor-liquid-solid and vapor-solid mechanisms. In terms of chemical thermodynamics, the partial pressure of CO and Mg(g) are found to play an important role in the in-situ fibers formation. Different concentration of vapors affects the size, amount and composition of the fibers at different temperatures. The mechanical properties of MgO-C brick was found to be improved by ferrocene addition.展开更多

The effects of nanoscale carbon black amount added on viscosity of the composite binders were studied. Low-carbon MgO-C specimens were fabricated with these composite binders. Effects of nanoscale carbon black contents (0, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of phenolic resin in mass percent) on mechanical properties of low-carbon MgO-C specimens were investigated. The results revealed that the viscosity of the composite binder increased rapidly with increase of nanoscale carbon black content, and that CMOR, HMOR (high modulus of rupture) and CCS (cold crushing strength) of the specimens increased gradually with increase of nanoscale carbon black content as well.展开更多
