Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refractory materials technology, specifically to a high-strength dry tundish material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the steel production process, the tundish plays a crucial role as the transition device between molten steel and the crystallizer. As the lining material of the tundish, the performance of the tundish dry lining directly affects the overall performance and service life of the tundish. For example, if the strength of the tundish dry lining is insufficient, it is prone to cracking and spalling under frequent thermal shock and mechanical vibration.

[0003] With the continuous promotion of high-efficiency continuous casting technology, the working conditions of tundishes have become more demanding. The strength of traditional tundish dry feedstock can no longer meet market requirements. There is an urgent need to develop tundish dry feedstock with higher strength to ensure stable operation of the tundish in harsh environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a high-strength dry tundish material and its preparation method, which solves the problem of poor room temperature compressive strength of dry tundish materials in related technologies.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] This invention proposes a high-strength intermediate dry material, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 150 parts sintered magnesia, 40-60 parts hydroxyapatite, 20-40 parts silica fume, 8-12 parts binder, and 0.5-1 part curing agent;

[0007] The binder includes phenolic resin and polyferric sulfate.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the weight ratio of the phenolic resin to the polyferric sulfate is 3:2 to 9:1.

[0009] In this invention, when the weight ratio of phenolic resin to polyferric sulfate is 3:2 to 9:1, it helps to further improve the room temperature compressive strength of the dry material in the tundish.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the hydroxyapatite is modified hydroxyapatite.

[0011] In this invention, by modifying hydroxyapatite, the bonding between hydroxyapatite and sintered magnesia during sintering can be enhanced, further promoting the densification of the dry tundish material, thereby further improving the room temperature compressive strength of the dry tundish material.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the modified hydroxyapatite comprises the following components: hydroxyapatite, ferric acetylacetone, and ferric stearate.

[0013] In this invention, the inventors discovered that modifying hydroxyapatite with ferric acetylacetone and ferric stearate can further improve the room temperature compressive strength of dry tundish fillers. It is speculated that this is because ferric acetylacetone and ferric stearate can improve the sintering activity of hydroxyapatite, promoting the bonding between hydroxyapatite and sintered magnesia.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the modified hydroxyapatite includes the following steps: dissolving ferric acetylacetone and ferric stearate in ethanol, adding hydroxyapatite, dispersing evenly, and drying to obtain the modified hydroxyapatite.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the weight ratio of the hydroxyapatite and ferric acetylacetone to ferric stearate is 10.5~13:1:1.

[0016] In this invention, when the weight ratio of hydroxyapatite to ferric acetylacetone and ferric stearate is 10.5~13:1:1, it helps to further improve the room temperature compressive strength of the dry tundish material.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the melting temperature is 40~50℃.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the particle size of the sintered magnesia, hydroxyapatite and silica fume is independently 100~600 mesh.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the particle size of the sintered magnesia is 100-200 mesh; and / or

[0020] The hydroxyapatite has a particle size of 250-325 mesh; and / or

[0021] The silica fume has a particle size of 400-600 mesh.

[0022] In this invention, by designing the particle size distribution of sintered magnesia, hydroxyapatite, and silica fume, the density of the dry tundish material can be improved, thereby further enhancing the room temperature compressive strength of the dry tundish material.

[0023] As a further technical solution, the mass fraction of magnesium oxide in the sintered magnesia is ≥95%.

[0024] As a further technical solution, the mass fraction of silicon dioxide in the silica ash is ≥95%.

[0025] As a further technical solution, the curing agent includes one of hexamethylenetetramine, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and 2-methylimidazole.

[0026] The present invention also proposes a method for preparing the high-strength tundish dry material, comprising the following steps: mixing the components evenly to obtain the tundish dry material.

[0027] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0028] In this invention, the tundish dry material has advantages such as readily available raw materials, simple preparation, and a favorable construction environment. Specifically, by using phenolic resin and polyferric sulfate as binders, the synergistic effect of organic and inorganic polymers allows the tundish dry material to form a robust three-dimensional mesh structure after baking, significantly improving its room-temperature compressive strength.
