Here, the preparation of polishing sections of refractory materials and products and their observation under microscopes were introduced in detail. The observation of microstructures helps to improve and optimize production process. Optical microscopes can observe (1) homogenous or inhomogeneous composition distribution to improve mixing intensity; (2) coarse grains contact or not and contacted grain edges broken or intact to adjust the pressing parameters to avoid overpressure ; ( 3 ) the filling degree of components to optimize the particle size distribution; (4) the sintering necks and bridges and matrix shrinkage status to adjust sintering intensity or sintering atmosphere; (5) the crack edge in round or sharp to know when the cracks formed ( before or after entering sintering zone) and take countermeasures ; (6) used refractories to find the wear mechanism.展开更多
High purity silica bricks have stable physical properties,except for the RUL (0.2 MPa) exhibiting extreme two different levels of high-level RUL T0.6 of 1 683-1 686 ℃ and low-level RUL T0.6 of1 174-1 184 ℃.The low...High purity silica bricks have stable physical properties,except for the RUL (0.2 MPa) exhibiting extreme two different levels of high-level RUL T0.6 of 1 683-1 686 ℃ and low-level RUL T0.6 of1 174-1 184 ℃.The low RUL phenomenon was researched,the formation reasons and solutions were analyzed in this paper.The low-level RUL T0.6 of 1 174-1 184 ℃ of the un-burnt high purity silica bricks is a pseudo RUL T0.6 phenomenon for the transformation of crystalline morphology.The real RUL T0.6 of the specimen hot treated at 1 093 ℃ is > 1 680 ℃.Therefore,the un-burnt high purity silica bricks shall be hot treated at about 1 100 ℃ firstly before testing RUL.For the heating up of the lining of glass tank arch,baking curves with long holding time at 1 100 ℃ shall be strictly obeyed to avoid the obvious shrinkage negatively influencing the lining stability.展开更多

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℃.展开更多
