Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnesite tailings recycling technology, specifically a method for preparing a permanent liner for an intermediate ladle from high-silicon magnesite tailings. Background Technology
[0002] The tundish in continuous casting is an essential vessel in short-process steelmaking. Molten steel poured from the ladle is distributed to various crystallizers through the tundish nozzle. Due to frequent impacts from the molten steel during use, especially on the permanent lining, the service life of the permanent lining directly affects the overall service life of the tundish. Currently, tundish permanent linings mostly use heavy castables, which have high density and thermal conductivity, resulting in poor heat insulation. If the molten steel casting temperature in the tundish is too low, the viscosity of the molten steel increases, making it difficult for inclusions to float and resulting in poor billet surface quality. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the molten steel temperature to maintain the tundish temperature, thus increasing steelmaking costs.
[0003] Therefore, by fully utilizing the effective components in high-silica magnesite tailings, optimizing the preparation process of the permanent lining of the tundish, reducing the cooling during the tundish casting process and obtaining a more stable temperature fluctuation, it is possible to achieve resource recycling, ensure good insulation effect of the tundish, and achieve long service life and low-cost operation.
