Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of acidic dry materials, and in particular relates to an acidic dry material for a medium frequency furnace based on micronized raw materials and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial production, melting equipment plays a key role in the development of numerous industries. Medium-frequency furnaces, with their advantages of rapid heating, high melting efficiency, and precise temperature control, hold a prominent position in the metal melting field. For example, in the steel industry, they are used for melting specialty steels and alloy steels, enabling precise adjustment of molten steel composition to meet the quality requirements of different steel grades. In the nonferrous metals industry, such as copper and aluminum, medium-frequency furnaces enable efficient metal melting and refining processes for melting and casting.

[0003] With the development of industry, the performance requirements for medium-frequency furnaces are constantly increasing. They are expected not only to further improve melting efficiency and reduce energy consumption, but also to ensure stable operation of the equipment and reduce downtime for maintenance due to problems such as lining damage. Currently, the material used in the crucible of medium-frequency furnaces is mainly dry ramming material, which comes in three types: acidic, alkaline, and neutral. During use, the material is vibrated and formed in the furnace by ramming, and then the furnace is baked to obtain strength for smelting operations.

[0004] Among them, acidic dry materials have become an important choice for medium frequency furnace linings due to their good resistance to acidic slag corrosion, convenient construction, and short baking time. Traditional acidic dry materials are mainly made of quartz sand and other materials as the main raw materials, and are prepared by adding appropriate binders and additives. However, in actual use, the existing acidic dry materials still have some problems that need to be solved: on the one hand, their thermal shock resistance is insufficient. During the frequent heating and cooling process of the medium frequency furnace, the furnace lining is prone to cracks, resulting in slag penetration, which in turn affects the service life of the furnace lining. On the other hand, their high-temperature strength is limited. Under high-temperature smelting conditions, the furnace lining may soften and deform, reducing the protective effect on the furnace body and increasing safety hazards. These problems limit the application of acidic dry materials under more demanding smelting conditions, and also prompt the industry to continuously explore ways to improve the performance of acidic dry materials.

[0005] To improve the performance of acidic dry materials, micronization of raw materials has become an important research area. This micronization process, based on the theory of micropowders in refractory materials, allows fine particles to pack more densely during sintering, reducing porosity and increasing the material's density. This not only enhances the material's strength but also effectively blocks slag penetration, improving the erosion resistance of the furnace lining. Micronization also accelerates chemical reactions. During the reaction between the binder and the raw materials, finer raw material particles allow for a more complete reaction, forming a more stable and robust binding phase, thereby improving the overall performance of the acidic dry materials.

[0006] However, the micronized raw materials have the following problems: 1. Poor dispersibility; 2. Single erosion resistance. In view of the importance of intermediate frequency furnaces in industrial production and the problems existing in acid dry materials and micronized raw materials, there is an urgent need to develop a new acid dry material for intermediate frequency furnaces. Summary of the Invention
