Innovative Lining of Unburnt Al_2O_3-MgO Brick for 300t Steel Ladle in Baosteel

The manufacture of clean steel needs high performance carbon-free bricks for ladle lining.Based on long term application experiences of the prefab Al₂O₃-MgO blocks,unburnt Al₂O₃-MgO brick has been developed by pressing a mix of alumina,spinel and magnesia as major raw materials and Al₂O₃-MgO gel powder as binder.In addition to low open porosity and high strength,the unburnt Al₂O₃-MgO brick shows superior corrosion resistance and thermal shock resistance to the prefab block.Field trials in a 300t steel ladle have indicated the residual lining of unburnt Al₂O₃-MgO bricks showed smooth surface without large spalling and seldom steel infiltration,consequently longer service life than the prefab blocks.The reliable,unburnt Al₂O₃-MgO bricks have more advantages of high efficiency,energy-saving and eco-friendly production.It will be one of the best options for ladle lining in the manufacture of high-purity steel.

Characterization of the Mechanical Behavior of Magnesia Spinel Refractories Using Image Correlation

The improvement in thermal shock resistance of refractory materials is among the crucial properties that interest researchers and industrials. The “flexibility” in terms of large strain‐to‐rupture is, up to now, an important parameter to develop such characteristic. This can be obtained by generating a network of microcracks within the microstructure of the material under mechanical solicitations. As an outcome, the mechanical behavior can vary from fragile to a large nonlinear one depending on the degree of microcracking present inside the material. In fact, this nonlinear behavior of ceramics related to their microstructure is behind the possibility to enhance the level of strain‐to‐rupture for a better accommodation to the high level of strain induced by thermal shock solicitations. This study is devoted to apply digital imaging correlation method to support mechanical behavior analysis for the evaluation of the thermal shock ability of refractory materials. In this paper, mechanical characterization of magnesia spinel materials has been carried out using different experimental tests. These nonlinear materials are characterized by a mechanical behavior strongly dependent on their microstructure.     

Service of refractory concretes in the lining of steel-teeming ladles

Conclusions An investigation of the temperature and slag regimes of concrete linings has shown that one half of the lining's thickness, the one on the metal melt side, is subjected to severe cyclical changes in temperature, whereas the other half operates under steady thermal conditions throughout the furnace campaign.It has been established that cooling of the lining with water sharply reduces the temperature of the contact layer of the lining, i. e., it leads to thermal shock with accompanying crack formation.The durability of the lining is largely determined by the correspondence of the chemical nature of the lining material with the chemical composition of the slags. Under the influence of converter slag with a basicity of 3,1–4.5, the rate of transfer of SiO₂ from the acid lining to the slag increases by 2–3 times in comparison that observed for slag with a basicity of 2.5–3.35. This in tarn leads to more intense decrease in the basicity of the ladle slag, enhancing its fluidity and causing intense wear of the lining in the lower sector of the ladle.The results of industrial tests showed that the most agressive effect on an acid lining is exerted by fluid slags with a basicity of 2.1–2.7. Slags of lower basicity are more viscous and closer in chemical composition to that of the lining. Slags of higher basicity have a higher viscosity and their penetrative power is therefore less.Translated from Ogneupory, No. 7, pp. 28–33, July, 1979.     

Key Technologies for Energy Efficient Al(OH)_3 Dilute Phase Fluidized Bed Roasting Furnaces

Research on new types of castables, pre-cast assembly parts and thermal insulation materials with good resistance to wear, thermal shock and erosion, and low thermal conductivity, was done to solve problems of high system energy consumption, cracking and spalling of partial lining and mismatch of furnace top material and hanging material and so on, caused by unreasonable design of China's Al(OH)3 dilute phase fluidized bed roasting furnace lining. Several difficult problems such as the matching of different materials, preservation of expansion joints among different zones and reasonable mechanical distribution of lining were solved. "Integrated furnace" concept was established including refractories R D, lining structure design, construction optimization, furnace warming technology, initial operation and lining maintenance technology. The key technologies of high-efficiency and energy-saving for furnaces were developed. These achievements have been applied to China's Al(OH)3 dilute phase fluidized bed roasting furnaces to reduce energy consumption by 1 000 MJ per ton alumina, enhance the capacity and reduce the exhaust gas emission.     

Insulating Permanent Lining of Calcium Hexaluminate Based Castable for 300t Ladle in Baosteel

Minimizing of heat loss of liquid steel through the ladle lining led to the integration of increasing insulation function of the permanent lining and high-quality insulating layer between the permanent lining and the ladle steel shell.In this paper,a study was made on physical and thermomechanical properties and corrosion resistance of calcium hexaluminate based castables.The chemical and physical properties of CA6 based castables fabricated in this work can fulfill general requirements of the permanent lining in ladle.The permanent linings of CA6 based castables offer superb thermal insulation and corrosion resistance,compared to conventional refractory systems of 300t ladle in Baosteel.Both functions of insulation and safety work effectively in whole process of ladle operation.

Improved Mechanical Material Property Definition for Predicting the Thermomechanical Behavior of Refractory Linings of Teeming Ladles

Ladle vessels continue to play a significant role in clean steelmaking. The incorporation of clean-steel practices imposes severe process environments requiring use of stiffer, stronger refractory linings. As a result, concern has been expressed over the structural integrity of the ladle shell because of the large expansion loads imposed by the stronger linings. Appropriate refractory material properties are required in order to develop accurate and dependable analytical prediction of lining behavior. Analytical results of lining expansion forces using ultrasonic elastic modulus and static elastic modulus (from static compressive stress/strain data) are compared to strain gage measured lining expansion forces

"In-situ Recycling" :Monolithic Ladle Repair with Shotcreting

The service life of refractories in ladle walls is limited by corrosion,abrasion,thermal shock and structural spalling mechanisms. When the ladle is lined with bricks they typically need to be completely removed after a certain number of heats to be replaced by new bricks of the same size as the original bricks. Not so for monolithic ladle linings. At the end of their service life the remains of the castable can almost completely be recycled as they can in fact stay in place. Only the worn-out part of the lining has to be replaced by a new castable. 20%-50% of the initial ladle lining can be recycled "insitu". The installation can efficiently be done by shotcreting technics. But it requires a castable that resists slag penetration very well. Castables based on a calcium magnesium aluminate bond provide the required penetration resistance. Pumping and shotcreting is very well adapted for repairs of blast furnace shafts,torpedo cars,hot metal and steel ladle linings[1]. However,very little is published about how a good pumping and shotcreting performance can be achieved when the installation has to be done under extreme weather conditions. At high ambient temperature the challenge is to ensure a good pumping result without early castable stiffening. Blockage of the pump would be the consequence. At low ambient temperature the difficulty is to de-activate the highly efficient deflocculant fast enough with a gelling agent added intothe wet mix at the nozzle to prevent the gunned material slipping off the wall. This paper studies strategies how to achieve good installed properties even at extreme ambient temperatures. The interactions between deflocculants,retarders,gelling agents,and calcium magnesium aluminate binder as a function of temperature are studied for an alumina- spinel ladle castable. Beside a new gelling agent for this castable type also a special stabilizer to reduce the temperature sensitivity has been investigated. It will be highlighted how the use of the new calcium magnesium aluminate binder in ladle castables and shotcretes maximises their service life and minimises material consumption.     

Multifunctional Refractory-lined Vessel: Ladle Aggregate

A ladle primarily is a container used to transport molten steel from the steelmaking unit to the casting facility.The essential requirements are heat resistant,insulative and strong enough to hold molten steel up to 300 t,with a structure of multilayered refractory lining in a steel shell vessel.When a ladle is assembled with three-phase graphite electrodes,a ladle furnace forms,starting steel refining process with/without the vacuum tank degasser and RH circulating degasser,in order to meet the growing demand on high purity and higher quality steel.The working lining is under aggressive conditions that comprise the chemical reaction with molten steel,the severe corrosion of liquid slag,the disaggregation through oxidation,and the strong stress due to the impacting of the melts and gases and the effects of thermomechanical behaviors.Magnesiacarbon brick is one of the major materials,being indispensable for the slagline of a ladle furnace.Alumina-magnesiacarbon brick has played an important role to substantially increase the service life in the metal zone,from the early lining materials of high alumina and doloma bricks.The permanent lining must assume sufficient responsibility to allow finishing the process of the engaged charge in case of a failure in the working lining.The insulation layer must be as thin as possible in order to maximize the ladle’s capacity,and reduce the shell temperature for saving energy.In this issue,several integrant refractories are reviewed or investigated in order to compile a lining overview,and to contribute a prolonged service life under aggressive working conditions of the ladle furnace.

Improved thermal shock performance of Al2O3-C refractories due to nanoscaled additives

Carbon bonded alumina refractories with approximately 30 wt.-% residual carbon after coking are widely used as functional components such as submerged entry nozzles, monobloc stoppers and ladle shrouds in steel casting operations. Compositions with less residual carbon after coking based on nanoscaled magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl₂O₄), alumina nanosheets (α-Al₂O₃) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) either as single additives or combinations have been investigated according to their physical, mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties. The combination of nanoscaled powders based on carbon nanotubes and alumina nanosheets lead to superior thermal shock performance with approximately 30% less residual carbon in comparison to commercial available material compositions.

Thermal shock resistance of porous ceramic foams with temperature-dependent material properties

The impact of temperature dependence of material properties on thermal shock resistance of porous ceramic foams is studied in this paper. Two cases of thermal shock are carried out: sudden heating and sudden cooling. Finite difference method and weight function method are employed to get the thermal stress field at crack tip. The effects of time dependence and temperature dependence of material properties on thermal shock behavior are analyzed. The thermal shock resistance is acquired based on two different criteria: fracture mechanics criterion and stress criterion. By comparison analysis, results show that taking temperature dependence of the material properties into account is crucial in the assessment of thermal shock resistance of ceramic foams. Cold shock fracture experiments of Al₂O₃ foams with different relative densities are also made, and the obtained results are in coincidence with theoretical results very well.
