为了探索Mg O-C砖在电磁搅拌、电弧炉和感应炉等电磁场环境下使用时的抗渣侵蚀性,采用w(C)分别为6%、14%的Mg O-C砖和m(Ca O)/m(Si O2)=3.5的炉渣在中频感应炉中进行抗熔渣侵蚀试验,并对渣蚀后试样进行了XRD和SEM、EDAX分析。结果表明:在电磁场环境下,w(C)=6%的镁碳砖渣蚀后低熔点相为镁黄长石,w(C)=14%的镁碳砖渣蚀后低熔点相为黄长石。镁碳砖渣蚀过程中,w(C)=6%的镁碳砖中镁砂未完全形成镁铁(锰)固溶体或镁铁尖晶石即剥落于熔渣中;而w(C)=14%的镁碳砖中镁砂形成镁铁(锰)固溶体或镁铁尖晶石后剥落于熔渣中;在渣蚀后镁碳砖过渡层中,电磁场促进了Al2O3、Mn O、Fe O、Fe2O3的渗透,生成镁铁(锰)固溶体、镁铁尖晶石、镁铝尖晶石或金属单质,w(C)=14%的镁碳砖渗透较弱,生成的固溶体或尖晶石较少,易剥落于熔渣中。

钢包精炼渣对不同MgO基耐火材料的侵蚀研究

利用感应熔炼炉研究了低碱度钢包精炼渣对钢包渣线部位常用的3种MgO基耐火材料(镁碳、镁碳化硅、镁尖晶石)的侵蚀,同时利用黏度试验研究了耐火材料的基质组分与熔渣混合后形成新渣相的黏度变化。研究结果表明:1)低碱度炉渣在与MgO基耐火材料中的MgO接触过程中会形成低熔点物相钙镁橄榄石(CMS),与镁铝尖晶石接触会促进钙铝黄长石(C2AS)的生成而使渣黏度增加,处于熔渣区域的SiC被氧化成SiO2而提高渣的黏度。2)熔渣对耐火材料的侵蚀程度取决于熔渣和耐火材料之间的润湿情况,熔渣黏度的增加只是在一定程度上缓解了熔渣对耐火材料的侵蚀,反应层的耐火材料在钢水和熔渣的冲刷下仍会流失到熔渣中去。

Effect of electromagnetic field on slag corrosion resistance of low carbon MgO–C refractories

Using MgO–C refractories containing 6% carbon and the slag with a basicity (CaO/SiO₂) of around 0.8, the melting slag resistance experiments of low carbon MgO–C refractories were carried out in induction furnace and resistance furnace, respectively. The microstructure of low carbon MgO–C refractories corroded by slag under the different conditions was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDAX). The results show that in induction furnace having electromagnetic field (EMF), there are MgFe₂O₄ spinel with a little of Mn ions generated in the interfacial layer. Part of the solid solution is monticellite [CaMgSiO₄] containing a little MnO and FeO. While under the condition of EMF free, there is not MgFe₂O₄ spinel in the interfacial layer and the solid solution is monticellite (CaMgSiO₄). At a high temperature, EMF increases the diffusion coefficient of Fe^2+/3+ ions, which displaces Mg²⁺ and forms MgFe₂O₄ with a little of Mn ions. There are MgAl₂O₄ spinel in the penetration layers under the conditions of both EMF and EMF free. EMF speeds up corrosion of low carbon MgO–C refractories.

Effects of different particle size of spinel and Y2O3 additive of the periclase-spinel refractory on the sintering densification and corrosion resistance to copper smelting slag

In order to analyze the sintering densification and copper smelting slag corrosion resistance of periclase-spinel refractories, the periclase-spinel refractories were prepared with fused magnesia, magnesia-rich spinel, industrial alumina, and yttrium oxide as the main raw materials. The different particle sizes of spinel in material and with or without Y₂O₃ additive were studied. The study demonstrated that: (1) The different particle sizes of spinel in periclase-spinel refractories can result in different effects. Adding particle spinel to the refractory can improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the periclase-spinel refractories. The addition of spinel and magnesia powders in the matrix resulted in cracks due to the great difference of coefficient of thermal expansion between magnesia and spinel. The reduction in bulk density and strength of the material decreased slag penetration resistance because of its poor sintering properties. While adding the alumina in the matrix can further fill the crack and prevent slag penetration by the volume expansion of in-situ reaction to form spinel. (2) The periclase-spinel refractories can be reacted with Cu slag to form a Mg₂FeO₄ insulating layer as the iron ion becomes oxidized. Adding Y₂O₃ in periclase-spinel refractories can result in grain boundary phase reconstruction, which can promote sintering densification, improve the slag physical infiltration resistance, and improve the chemical corrosion resistance of materials.

The development of a thermodynamic model for Al2O3–MgO refractory castable corrosion by secondary metallurgy steel ladle slags

Alumina magnesia in situ spinel castables are used as ladle refractory lining in the steel industry. In contact with slag, they suffer degradations which limits their performance. The purpose of this article is to predict the thermochemical attack of a slag on alumina magnesia refractory using Factsage^® thermodynamic modeling. To evaluate the reliability of the thermodynamic results, a validation step was carried out, which supported that the database was well adapted to the alumina magnesia spinel system. The corrosion phenomenon was then computed for a simple to a complete system to understand the mechanism and the influence of specific oxides. The model was also compared to corroded microstructures from a steel ladle to evaluate the contribution of each constituent in the castable. The aggregates of alumina react with slag to produce monomineral layers of lime aluminates (CA6 and CA2), while complex spinels (Mg, Fe, Mn)O (Fe₂, Al₂)O₃ are formed from the reaction of the slag with the matrix of the castable. Several oxides (MnO, FeO, Fe₂O₃) from the slag contribute to the formation of the spinel structures. The microstructures of refractories used in steel ladles confirm the main conclusions and the thermodynamic approach.     

Role of Calcium Magnesium Aluminate in Carbon-containing Bricks for Steel Ladle

Calcium magnesium aluminate,with the commercial name of MagArmour,is a synthetic material consisting of 70 mass%Al₂O₃,20 mass%MgO and 10 mass%CaO,approximately.It is characterized by porous microstructure,intergranular aluminates phases and micro-crystalline spinel.Since globally launched in 2017,MagArmour has been successfully applied to various carbon-containing refractories serving for steel refining process.Lots of cases have demonstrated the role of MagArmour in enhancing the service life of carbon containing bricks for ladle lining.The benefits embody in formation of protective coating on hot surface,relief of drilling corrosion in joint positions,and elimination of grooves or cracks caused by mechanical stress concentration.In addition,MagArmour is effective in protecting graphite from deep oxidization so as to be capable of replacing the metallic or carbide anti-oxidants in carbon-containing bricks entirely.By means of chemical analysis and microstructural dissection,postmortem investigations on the used MgO-C bricks from both metal and slag zones of 120t steel refining ladle were conducted to clarify the working mechanism of MagArmour.The formation of protective coating on hot face is attributed to the dissolution of micro-crystalline spinel into contacting slag,which changes the slag chemistry so as to enhance viscosity.The improvement in corrosion/erosion resistance is highly related to the porous microstructure and dispersive aluminates.As well known,evaporation of Mg,Al and SiO,and/or internal migration,occurs in MgO-C bricks at elevated temperatures.The gaseous phases are absorbed by MagArmour particles due to the high surface area of porous microstructure and condense as corresponding oxides.These oxides react with the intergranular calcium aluminates forming liquid phase.With increasing temperature,the liquid phase seeps into the matrix under capillary force.The increased liquid amount improves the flexibility of the matrix and thus releases the internal stresses concentration resulting from mechanical stress and temperature gradient.Meanwhile,densification of the matrix microstructure occurs under the static pressure generated by liquid steel and molten slag,which blocks the channels of oxygen infiltration.     

镁锆砖和镁铬砖的抗RH炉渣侵蚀性对比

为取代RH炉用镁铬材料,以电熔镁砂为主原料,分别加入单斜锆、脱硅锆、单斜锆与脱硅锆的混合粉、锆英石制备了ZrO2质量分数分别为15%和20%的镁锆砖,并利用静态坩埚法对比研究了镁锆砖和镁铬砖的抗RH炉渣侵蚀性。结果表明:对于Al2O3含量高且碱度(CaO/SiO2比)大的RH炉渣,镁锆砖抗侵蚀性能优于镁铬砖的;镁锆砖的侵蚀机理是砖中的ZrO2与渣中的CaO迅速反应,形成高熔点物相CaZrO3,能堵塞砖中的孔隙而形成致密保护层,从而阻止钢渣对镁锆砖的进一步侵蚀;而镁铬砖的侵蚀机理是渣中的Al2O3、Fe2O3等R3 和镁铬尖晶石中Cr3 交换,渣与砖反应生成的镁铝尖晶石和镁铁尖晶石使得材料变性,同时由于体积效应使镁铬材料鼓胀开裂,从而导致镁铬砖的严重侵蚀。     

Corrosion Resistance of Fused Cr_2O_3-Al_2O_3 Grains with Different Compositions

Six kinds of Cr2O3 Al2O3 fused grains ( the mass percent of Cr2O3 was 15% ,40% ,50% ,60% ,85% and 99% ,respectively) were prepared using chrome green and Al2O3 powder as starting materials by electrofusion,named as CR15,CR40,CR50,CR60,CR85, and CR99,respectively. The corrosion resistance of the six kinds of Cr2O3 Al2O3 fused grains ( 4 1 mm) was studied using rotary slag corrosion method. The results show that: ( 1) the corrosion resistance of the fused grains increases with the Cr2O3 content and the grain size increasing; ( 2) the grains of CR99 and CR85 with higher Cr2O3 content are corroded at the slag surface layer,because FeO and Al2O3 in the slag corrode the grains; FeO reacts with Cr2O3 in the aggregates forming ( Fe,Cr) 3O4 spinel firstly,and the spinel reacts with other phases forming composite spinel; when FeO is fully consumed,Al2O3 penetrated into the grains reacts with Cr2O3 forming Al2O3 Cr2O3 solid solution on the grains surface; ( 3) for CR60,the corrosion exists both in the slag surface layer and in the penetration layer; in the penetration layer,CaO and SiO2 react with Al2O3 in Al2O3 Cr2O3 solid solution forming anorthite, gehlenite, and glass phase; the grains of CR50,CR40 and CR15 have the same corrosion mechanism with CR60 in the penetration layer.     

Corrosion modeling of magnesia aggregates in contact with CaO–MgO–SiO2 slags

Ladle refining is an efficient process for improvement of quality of steel on secondary metallurgy under harsh conditions. Magnesia refractories with high purity are important raw materials for ladle lining in high-quality steel production. However, the penetration by CaO–MgO–SiO₂ slags damages magnesia refractories, which considerably limits their service life. Abundant grain boundaries in magnesia create channels for slag penetration and lead to the destruction of the structure. The effect of the microstructure on the slag corrosion behavior of magnesia aggregates requires further systematic investigation. In this study, a corrosion model was established to describe the slag penetration process of magnesia aggregates. The effects of the grain-boundary size and slag CaO/SiO₂ mass ratio (C/S ratio) on slag penetration were investigated, and the possibility of the microstructure optimization of magnesia aggregates was discussed. The results indicated that magnesia aggregates exhibited excellent slag resistance for slag with a C/S ratio above 1.5 or even 2.0. When the slag C/S ratio was lower than 1.5, the dissolution rate of magnesia decreased more rapidly with the increase in the slag C/S ratio. In addition, the much smaller grain-boundary size increased the slag penetration resistance by promoting the formation of a dense isolation layer and inhibiting further penetration processes. The calculation results agreed well with the experimental results, suggesting that the corrosion model is promising for predicting slag corrosion.     

Interface behaviour and corrosion behaviour of magnesia refractory by alkaline slag in an alkali recovery furnace

The adhesion of Na₂CO₃ slag to the surface of refractories in an alkali recovery furnace can cause corrosion and spall. Magnesia refractories can be used as linings in alkali recovery furnaces owing to their strong corrosion resistance to alkali slag. However, the permeability resistance of magnesia refractories is relatively poor. Hence, the interface and corrosion behaviours of slag cladding on magnesia refractories were studied using sessile drop and static crucible tests. The experimental results showed that an increase in the heating rate positively affected the cladding of the molten column on the refractory surface. The microstructure, element changes, and chemical composition changes of the corroded refractories were analysed using SEM-EDS and XRD. Thermodynamic simulation of the reaction between the slag and refractory was performed using Factsage 7.3. The results indicate that the generated forsterite filled the pores of the magnesia refractories. The microstructure of dense slag-refractory interface layer was formed, which prevented the infiltration of slag phases and alleviated the corrosion of refractories by the slag.
