The invention relates to a flow controlling
water gap for production of
mineral wool from
blast furnace slag and a production process thereof, and belongs to the field of
refractory materials. The flow controlling
water gap is prepared from the following components: 3-6% of electrically-fused zirconia
corundum with the
granularity of 3-1mm, 20-25% of electrically-fused zirconia
corundum with the
granularity smaller than or equal to 0.088mm, 25-35% of green
silicon carbide with the
granularity of 1-0.5mm, 5-15% of green
silicon carbide with the granularity of 0.5-0.21mm, 20-25% of green
silicon carbide with the granularity of 0.21-0.088mm, 3-5% of
fused quartz with the granularity of 0.5-0.21mm, 1-2% of
fused quartz with the granularity of 0.21-0.088mm, 1-2% of expanded
graphite with the granularity of smaller than or equal to 0.020mm, 2-3% of
chrome green with the granularity of smaller than or equal to 0.020mm, 1-2% of silicon
powder with the granularity of smaller than or equal to 0.010mm and 2-4% of plaenolic resin binder. The production process comprises the following steps: mixing,
ageing a mixture, performing isostatic pressing forming,
drying,
sintering, performing flaw detection, performing
glaze spraying and the like. The flow controlling
water gap has excellent
erosion resistance,
heat shock resistance and
oxidation resistance, and has the service life of more than 20 days, which is far longer than the service life of
graphite water gap (about 4 days).
