Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of castables, and in particular to a mud jacket castable for blast furnace tapholes. [Background Technology]

[0002] The blast furnace taphole consists of a taphole frame, a protective plate, a brick sleeve, a mud sleeve, a flow channel, and a mud slab. Its outer end is riveted to the furnace shell, and its inner end contacts the annular carbon bricks in the hearth. The surrounding area is filled with packing material and tamped down, and is equipped with cooling walls. The taphole frame is fitted with a brick sleeve, and the outermost part of the taphole is the taphole protective plate. Inside the protective plate, a mud sleeve is tamped down to form the taphole mud sleeve.
