Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of zirconia refractory parts, and particularly relates to a densified anti-permeation zirconia refractory part and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In many high-temperature process flows of modern industry, refractory materials play an indispensable key role. From blast furnaces and converter furnaces in steel smelting to melting furnaces in glass manufacturing, to kilns in ceramic firing and many other equipment, excellent performance of refractory materials is relied on to resist high temperature, corrosion, erosion and other severe working conditions, to ensure the smooth progress of the production process and the service life of the equipment. The performance of refractory materials is directly related to the efficiency of industrial production, product quality, energy consumption and many other important aspects.

[0003] Zirconia (ZrO2) refractory material is widely used in many fields due to its unique excellent performance. It has a very high melting point (about 2715℃), good thermal shock resistance, excellent chemical corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. These characteristics enable it to resist the erosion of high-temperature flames, molten metals or glass liquids in some extremely harsh high-temperature environments, such as glass melting furnaces, continuous casting tundishes in the steel industry and high-temperature sintering furnaces in the electronics industry, maintain the integrity and stability of the structure, and thus provide reliable protection for related industrial production.

[0004] Although traditional zirconia refractory materials have shown many advantages, with the continuous development and progress of modern industrial technology, the performance requirements of refractory materials are also increasing. The common zirconia refractory materials on the market still have some problems to be solved. On the one hand, its volume stability at high temperature still needs to be improved, and it is easy to appear micro-cracks or even peeling phenomenon during long-term high-temperature use, which affects its service life and reliability. On the other hand, the anti-permeation performance of traditional zirconia refractory materials is not ideal when facing glass melt and other materials, which can easily lead to the destruction of the internal structure of the material, and thus cause a series of production failures, increase the maintenance cost and production risk of enterprises.

[0005] In order to overcome the limitations of the above-mentioned traditional zirconia refractory materials, various modification methods and technical means have been actively explored in the industry. For example, by adding different oxides or compounds to optimize its microstructure, improve its high temperature stability and corrosion resistance; using complex forming process or sintering technology, improving the density and uniformity of the material; and surface treatment of the material. However, how to realize the synergistic improvement of multiple properties, such as simultaneously increasing the bulk density, reducing the apparent porosity, enhancing the bending strength and glass liquid permeability, etc., is still a challenging problem. In addition, how to improve the performance of the material while ensuring the feasibility, economy and stability of the preparation process is also an important factor that cannot be ignored in actual production.

[0193] Table 2 Performance test results

[0194]

[0195] Through the test of the embodiment, it can be seen (Table 2) that the zirconia refractory parts prepared by the present invention have a bulk density (≥5.76g / cm 3 ), apparent porosity (≤0.36%), flexural strength (≥535MPa) and resistance to glass penetration (erosion depth ≤0.2mm) all showed excellent performance. Among them, Example 3 has outstanding performance, with a bulk density of 5.95g / cm 3 , apparent porosity 0.28%, flexural strength 580Mpa, and erosion depth of 0.12mm against molten glass penetration. Combined with the test results of the comparative example, it can be seen that the excellent comprehensive performance is due to the combined effect of gradient structure, grain boundary control and surface defect repair.

[0196] Specifically, the Y2Si2O7 in the surface layer of the zirconia refractory prepared by the present invention forms a continuous Y-Si-O transition layer with the matrix ZrO2, so that the Y element content shows a gradient decreasing feature from the surface to the matrix. This gradient structure makes the thermal expansion coefficient decrease from about 5.8×10 -6 / ℃ slowly transition to the matrix of 10.5×10 -6 / ℃, the interfacial stress is significantly reduced. This gradient structure effectively inhibits the ZrO2 phase from transforming into a monoclinic phase, giving the material excellent flexural strength and anti-permeability properties. 3 + / Ce 4 + exists in the form of solid solution at the ZrO2 grain boundary, forming a (Y, Ce)-O-Si-Al composite glass phase. This high viscosity glass phase can effectively block Ca 2 The diffusion paths of corrosive ions such as Na+ and Na+ enable the material to exhibit minimal erosion depth in glass melt erosion tests. Example 3 achieved an erosion depth of 0.12 mm, a 71.4% reduction compared to Comparative Example 2 (0.42 mm), which did not incorporate rare earth elements. Furthermore, rare earth doping further enhances grain boundary bonding, contributing to improved bending resistance. Post-processing of the material through molten salt impregnation significantly reduces surface open porosity, with the B2O3-SiO2 glass phase filling defects larger than 1 μm through capillary action.
